I would like to read a review or something about this content item.

Better still, I would really like to see a video or something.

Is it a working planetarium or jsut a static stage set?

    I do not have it but if you want an actual planetarium NASA or Blue Marble, I will have to find it, has a huge and I mean huge spherically mapped stitched image of the entire Milkyway Galaxy as seen from Earth you can stick on a sphere, an iClone sky, Carrara background or iray dome.

    The set looks like a nice model though and could prob be used with such a BG

    Wendy, I have been working with this software application for several weeks.

    I'm a trying to get a handle on star fields, planets, etc. in some mroe realistic fashion.

    I am working on a video, that goes beyond... static 2d background scenes.

    Here is link to the software... a really excellent application, but not workable as far as I can tell for integrating into animated videos with characters and such.

    The planetarium content item is on sale "Fast Grab" in the Daz3D shop for 70% discount, which is a pretty good price.  I may go with it, because the hardware set can probably be used for other things as well.

    This may be of interest to you.  I am working on a project that is involved.  Part of the work includes star fields in the southern hemisphere - and those below the equator are to be significantly featured.

    The problem for me is, I am in USA.  Austrailia, Southern Chili, Argentina, Wellington, New Zealand, South Afirca,etc. star fields are not easy to acquire.

    Software applications representing Southern Hemisphere star fields I have found appear to be strangely compressed.

    Thank you for responding

    I have a wrl file of the entire milkyway galaxy as  points that opens in Blender in 3D

    but getting that out in any useable form is beyond me

    yes seen Stellarium before, I was just looking for something simple to use with that set if you got it cheeky
