In the movie called in_v15_interactive_renderegion.wmv in the "Innovate" section on the experience CD he uses a shader called "space". Does anyone know where this shader is located?
here is a screenshot of the movie:

I think that it's just an environment shader that's been renamed. (Probably the Legacy_Night.Preset) Which can be found in: C:SoftimageXSIDataDSPresetsShadersEnvironmentsoft3d

Hello,

I used the legacy atmosphere shader for the effect. It has a slight trick to it which is you need to attach it in the render tree. basically...

get sphere

(render tree) --> nodes-->environment-->more go into the soft3d folder and get the legacy_atmosphere.

attach the node directly to the surface input of the sphere without an illlumination node. that should do it. to get the space effect change the view altitude and find a cool map of the world - i think i found that one at nasa.gov. also try scaling the sphere way up.

hope that helps...
