Skies StarCanopy has made, each unrolled flat as an equirectangular map. Every one renders again exactly from the project file beside it:
./build/starcanopy render open.toml
Each project records the look version it was made with; a later StarCanopy either renders the same sky or says why it cannot.
Default 7
The default look, seed 7: a lit mass of cloud, its cavity open toward the galaxy's band.
Default 3
The default look, seed 3.
Default 12
The default look, seed 12.
Open
open at 1: less of the sky covered, more of it clear.
Dense
dense at 1: gas that hides more of what is behind it.
Fragmented
fragmented at 1: the gas broken into pieces, clear sky between.
Billowing
billowing at 1: large rounded forms rather than ridged filaments.
Luminous
luminous at 1: more light from within the nebula.
Vivid
vivid at 1: the palette at its most colourful.
Galactic
galactic at 1: in toward the galaxy's centre, its light and dust all about.
Remote
galactic at -1: far out, the galaxy a distant band.
Lenticular
A lenticular galaxy's sky: a large bulge over a thin band, broken by its dust lane.
