I was doing a tutorial the other day and all was going well, untill the end...It happens with alot of tutorials when the author gets lazy right at the end.

Anyways, it was just a picture of a sun and stars, and I have the snu looking great, but for the stars (In his render it spanned the whole window) so I woudl like to know how to do this? He explained it fairly well right untill his last sentance when he just through me out the window and I was lost for ever....

In other words, is it like a skin, or a sky box? Or can someone just tell me what I have to do to make it like a background?

All help would be appreciated since 3d Studio Max is about the most impossible program for a 13 year old to learn....Now, I am good in Flash MX, becuase I've had it for 3 years...but not 3dS...

Again, thanks for help in advance

EDIT: This is the site I was following the tutorial on: http://www.3dkingdom.org/modules.php?op ... =0&thold=0

I Get confused right at the part where he asks you to do stuff in the Material Editor. From there right untill the end.

So if someone could tell me what he means can they translate it into super ultra mega deatils?

WOW! Thanks so much! My problem is so fixed thanks to everyone's help!

People can't help you if they have no clue what you are talking about...

Well all I really want to know is how to add like a background? Like in flash MX, you can change the colour of the canvas thing?

Like how do I make stars (with the stucco material) look like a background, without drawing thousands of little balls, or tiny lights...?
