3D starry background using particle systems - Unity Tutorial
Game Dev Experiments episode 1: trying to recreate the starry background from Outer Wilds.
In this Unity tutorial video I show how to build up the starry background effect using Unity particle systems and a small amount of scripting.
As an extra bonus I show how the starry background could be used as part of a simple day-night cycle.
