Nebula Layer Thickness

The nebula layer needs to have more variation in its thickness.  Specifically, each nebulae is roughly as thick as it is wide.  I decided to use a ppm image to roughly delineate thick and thin areas of the layer.


Each color has a specific gaussian PDF function associated with it, thus clamping the thickness to a specified range of values.  Here are the results in just the nebula layer.



In combination with the other 2 layers...

gas: 149475, dark: 884284, stars: 6273772, 3.28 min





With gamma and saturation corrections...
