🕳️ Realistic Black Holes — Create black holes with real-time gravitational lensing, light bending around the event horizon, customizable accretion disks, and relativistic beaming. 「NEW」 Create binary black hole systems with two interacting black holes and visualize the gravitational waves they produce.

🌌 Procedural Volumetric Galaxies — Build galaxies from scratch with the included texture generator, which can create spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies, or you can use your own textures and control the color palette to create your own style.

☀️ Volumetric Stars — Add immersive volumetric star surfaces to your projects, with animated spicules and noise-based turbulence. You can also customize the coronal glow, color spectrum, and magnetic loops stretching between the poles.

☄️ 「NEW」 Volumetric Comets — Add detailed volumetric comets with glowing nuclei, dusty comas, and dynamic dust and ion tails. Customize their appearance and to create anything from subtle distant comets to dramatic close-up flybys.

🌊 「NEW」 Gravitational Wells — Visualize the curvature of spacetime with deformable grids or rings that respond to gravitational wells and gravitational waves from binary black holes.

✨ Immersive Starfields — Fill your scenes with layered starfields that scale with distance to give the impression of billions of stars. As the camera moves, stars stretch to create convincing warp-speed and motion effects.

⚡ Real-Time Performance Controls — Keep performance under control with a range of adjustable rendering options. Tune ray-marching steps, reduce render resolution when needed, and much more to balance quality and performance.

⚙️ Procedural Variations — Adjust everything manually, or use the built-in Randomize buttons in the inspector to quickly generate unique black holes, stars, and galaxies.

🎓 Many Examples — Explore 37 pre-configured scenes covering different astrophysical setups, lighting conditions, and visual styles. They’re also a useful starting point for learning how the different systems work

📦 Easy Scene Integration — Drop the prefabs into your existing scenes and combine them with space backgrounds, planets, atmospheric effects, and other shaders without having to rebuild your environment.

🛠️ Full Source Code Included — All source code is included and organized to make customization straightforward. Modify the rendering systems, add your own features, or adapt them to fit your project.
