You could make an animated bitmap to put on planes around your skybox. That's probably the best/only way to to it. Either that or else make the whole sky an animated bitmap and have random ones twinkle.
Look at the shaders in Halo's skybox for exact values and settings - the main idea is that you have a moving mask bitmap overlayed onto your main stars bitmap, which lightens/darkens them as it moves.Quote:

Dont know if its a good technique but thats what ive seen.
