I just made my first space-scape, but I used The brush nebula. (It's a brush (lol obvious))

Cool 
I suggest you try out my tutorial for the nebula and background, and then use other tutorials for planets, stars and asteroids

Hey where do I find the image it made?

Once you have a fractal showing, you have to click on "Flame > Render to disk..." like shown on step 3 of the first part of my tutorial.

Well then it should have saved the image where you told it to

Awesome, I have Gimp, not photoshop or Apophysis, but Ill try to find ways to adapt it, since GIMP ha sme similar features

Yeeah, im sure it will, Ive mainly stuck to airbrushing and slight use of fractals, but I think this will help me in making mine more realistic in my scenes

yeah, and plus your tutorial definetly looks very professionally done, with the difficultly scale and the typing fonts, other than the nebuals and tips, the background and details in the tutorial itself is a piece of artwork

Your welcome, as far as awesome tutorials go, this one is the best in execution, Im thinking of featuring this on Top 5 space tutorials, on DA News, Im gonna find a 5th tutoarial first, thanks to my friend qaz, he featured this work of mine on a Sci Fi feature on DA news, got me a lot of page views and faves [link]

this might be kind of a stupid question, but what's Apophysis?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. It's a fractal flame editor and generator that you can find here [link]
Was that so hard? lol. Jk

Here's my outcome: [link]
And thanks for this tutorial. I've been having fun making all sorts of nebula fractals in Apophysis after reading your tutorial.

nice tut, another way to create nebulae.
Btw. I render my nebulae @ quality 6000, I think the suggested 200 is pretty low!
The second hint: render in format *.PNG, you have no BG for the next steps.

Thanks for the comment and tips
I never understood what the quality factor changed. Does it remove fractal noise?
Using PNG is also awesome
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Some noises are removed, try it out and compare it.
You will see a difference!
In my opinion the higher quality creates better texes!

Oh wow. This program is incredibly epic. Yeah... Expect awesome.

Awesome. This can even be applied to paint.net I am going to make the most awesome backgrounds thanks to this!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool! I thought paint.NET didn't have the appropriate layer styles and blending modes for it.

Well it was a bit of a hit and miss but for someone who knows the ins and outs of that program it is quite possible. I have already made two in my spare time ^_^

I'll upload one. Do you want me to message you about it and give you the link? Since it is YOUR tutorial(s) which helped me to make it in the first place ^_^

Well I just uploaded the one that I personally like the best ^_^ Here it is! Planet storm
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Looks good! I would just work a little more on the planet if I were you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it is kinda hard to use techniques meant for photoshop and use them in Paint.net. I will keep looking though and hopefully will be able to find a tutorial more suited for paint.net ^_^
thanks.

Maybe a GIMP planet tutorial like this one [link] would resemble a little more to paint.NET..

That looks cool. I'll look into it ^_^
