Be my fan on FacebookPhotoshop action to create an outer space scene
The net is full of tutorials about creating an outer space image, but every one of them, in order to achieve good results, require the user (you) to manually draw stars or adjust some parameters.
The real challenge is to code an action that creates an outer space without any drawing by the user.
The result I got, is a quite realistic outer space, and every time I play the action I get a different image.
Look at the examples:
As you can see, results are quite good, especially for game design.
Download the action and run into Photoshop.
I developed it with CS2 and I cannot test with any other platform so if you have a different version and the action runs, please let me know.
The action stops itself when you can change the image size and when you can change the background color of the nebulas you will created.
Enjoy it and let’s start coding space games…

This is really cool. Your scenes actually look pretty realistic. Especially the last one. Good job.
These are cool space scenes. where did you learn to do that?
Really nice action, works just great, and looks great for such little time. =)
Yeah, i love i to. Good work there!
Works in CS3
i cant open the file =( pls help me dude =(
When running in Photoshop CS3 I get to pick the two background colours, and then it fails with the error message:
“Could not complete the command because the selected area is empty.”
It appears to have reached the stage
Difference Clouds
Set current layer
Make layer
Fill
And another follow-up: that was using a canvas of 850×75px; when I used an 850×500px canvas it completed without an error.
Dude, how do you use Action in photoshop?
Thanks,to construct so complicated atn & sharing.
Took me a while to figure out how to use Action and where to find it but I found out eventually.
If anyone is clueless where it is :

Thanks for this. I used it and worked out great.

i believe that you are a liar and put color in the black area.nice try. you didn’t fool me though! haha! sucker!

great job btw on the space thingy. now i can use the techniques on my illustration exam. and its theme is ‘outer space’.
-peace out-
very coll, thank you
Awesome, well done!
Hey there, Emanuele. I’ve used this action to create the backgrounds for my space game, GravPull. You wanted someone to create some space game with it, so there you go. :)
I’ve used some other filters on the end result of your action but you should be able to recognize it if you take a look at my game.
Anyways, I’ve been reading your blog for a few months and I enjoy in very much. I don’t know where you get the time to blog so frequently. Keep it up!

It´s a great action, thanks a lot. You wanted to know if it works on another version, well i Just tried it in cs3 and it worked perfect.
Works great on CS4 as well! Thanks! :)
