Hi I am looking for a tutorial for 3dmax.

I am looking for a type A Star (sun) other than Zasurus's tutorial which I can't understand his instructions.

I really need one even if you guys can make one that will be great thanks.

Hopfully sympler tutorial than Zasurus tutorial.

Just to clarify

the Sun is a class G (G2V) star ...

Class A stars are stars like Sirius and Vega. Now how close to the star should the camera or ship get.

Well close enought to view the whole sun basicly the whole sun covering either 60% of the picture or 80% of the picture showing a ship flying by it basicly visible enough to show the sun in animation.

Look for Sun tutorials part 1 & 2. I thought Z's tutorial was very clear and user-friendly back in the day.

I do not think Z's tutorial is that far off... here is a picture with a sun I made following that very tutorial.

Looks good if z's tutorial is the way to go can ya make a new version of the tutorial to were the text is simple for anyone to understand Z was on the right track for the pics but the text part I have gotten completely lost.

So I was wondering if you or anyone can make a better version so people like me can understand the tutorial better.

Thanks again for the sun know one more thing I need help with for the sun is the big eruptions coming from the sun.

For the glow I know I will need video post to make that unless theres another way to make the big glow.

Heres an image that will show what I am looking for.
