    Twinkling Stars

    How do I make the stars twinkle like they do in Halo? (I'm trying to make a custom skybox that is on Earth and takes place at night. WIP may be out soon)

    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.

    I have watched a tutorial before about this, it told me to animated the planes that you put the stars on, and make the turn around. (you dont animated the plane, you make a frame for the plane and link the plane to the frame.)

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