I went to the motherlode to grab some hi rez textures and bumps
to render, and came out with this as a test:

Cool huh?
Ah well.

"My god, it's full of stars..."

Fancy. I'd love to know the details of how you achieved that result.

I cant remember exact measurements, but...

I made a perfect sphere primitive in Bryce and grabbed some
hi rez textures in the Celestia Motherlode.

I fiddled with some bump strength, and a separate sphere for clouds,
and then rendered it.

I did some post work in GIMP (which I found in the Motherlode,
thanks very very much to the person who put that link there)
with this script:

Then I sprinkled some powdered sugar in back ( ), and there you go.
