I was just messing around in Alias Maya 2008, with the Fluid Effects. I managed to create an interesting Nebular Cloud. So I decided to try and make a composition using it.

I began with a very basic image and added the Sun's that I made using Maya to create a composition that I was happy with.

I then brought the image into Photoshop CS2 along with the seperate elements. I composited some images that I have generated using Apophysis 2. I created in Photoshop the distant stars and asteroids.

It all came together very quickly, and took approx 6hrs.

Created using Maya, Photoshop CS2, Apophysis 2 and Intuos 3 Wacom Pad!

Hope you like the image.
