Well I have been trying to make a center fore a star, on my test star 18sco

This is the code, just copy them into a .ssc file:
_____________________________________________________________
"Center of 18 Sco" "18 Sco"
{
Texture "bstar.jpg"
#BumpMap "mercurybump.jpg"
#BumpHeight 2.5
Radius 7000

CustomOrbit ""
EllipticalOrbit {
Period 0.2408
SemiMajorAxis 0.0
Eccentricity 0.0
Inclination 0.0
AscendingNode 48.33167
LongOfPericenter 77.456
MeanLongitude 252.251
}

RotationPeriod 1047.509
Obliquity 0.0
EquatorAscendingNode 0.0

Albedo 0.06

}
_____________________________________________________________

If you try this when you go to "18 sco" and look fore planits it will say center of 18 Sco, now go to selection.

you will notic that one side is shades If anyone can fix this or any other problems that I am unawere of pleas post it.

Under radius, add

which will remove the dark side.

oops

Thank you, by the way can anyone tell me how many layres thear are in a star, when I get my test star compleat I will moove on to every other star

Another problem

The abov solution only works if vertex shading is off, pixl shading is on, and ambiant light is set to mediam

is thear another way?

If you are referring to the convention zones in a star as a layer, then it depends on how massive the star is. Larger stars have different mechanics then smaller ones. If you are referring to the elements, then it really depends on the age of the star. Either which way it not a simple question to answer. If you are really serious about astronomy then i would recommend getting the "The Cambridge Atlas of Astronomy" this is perhaps the best book on just about anything to do with the universe.
