A skybox is basically the ""background"" image of the game, it's a cube (i.e. six images, one for each side of the cube) and it can never be reached by the player in the game.
We have a generator that can, from a 3D scene in the game, create a skybox for you.
Your task would be to extend our skybox generator to randomly create even more beautiful space environments (with nebulae, stars, planets, asteroids, supernovas, ...)

== Goal ==

Add additional effects (nebulae, stars, planets, ...) to the skybox generator.

== Implementation ==

Think about different effects and objects to enhance our skybox. You could use particle effects, shaders, models, ...

Look at other space shooters to get some inspiration.
