🌄 Volumetric Rendering ― Create fully three-dimensional nebulae with real depth using optimized ray marching. Fly through vast cosmic structures instead of relying on flat billboard effects.

☀️ Volumetric Lighting & Streaking Shadows ― Add a pulsing star to the center of your nebula, and have cometary knots that cast realistic, outward-streaking shadows.

🔎 Multi-Layered Detail ― Design intricate formations from soft wisps to dense, complex clusters. Blend multiple layers of detail to give your nebulae a natural, highly structured appearance.

🎨 Vivid Coloring ― Achieve vibrant color transitions that respond naturally to density and emission, avoiding artificial, banded gradients.

⚡ High Performance ― Built for speed. Delivers impressive visual fidelity through highly optimized ray marching and Temporal Anti-Aliasing support, remaining efficient for real-time applications. It can even pause updating if your camera movements relative to the nebula are minimal.

⚙️ Endless Variations ― Generate endless nebula variations with the click of a button, or manually tweak each and every setting, giving you full creative freedom.

🌊 Subtle Animation ― Add life to your scenes with gentle star pulses and evolving colors that keep the nebula feeling dynamic and alive.

🎓 26 Ready-To-Use Demo Scenes ― Get up and running quickly with a diverse collection of pre-built scenes, showcasing different styles and setups you can learn from or use directly.

📦 Seamless Scene Integration ― Easily incorporate the nebula system into your existing environments, working smoothly alongside planets, backgrounds, and other visual elements.

🛠️ Full Source Code Included ― If you're a programmer, feel free to tweak the code as much as you like. It's clean, accessible, and designed to be easy to modify.
