Let's Create a 3D Starfield Together in Godot! Part 3: Procedurally generating the star field @MmmmmDonuts

Uploaded May 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago

Hi all, this is Part 3 of Let's Create a 3D Starfield Together in Godot! In this part we will work on procedurally generating the starfield. We'll use code to build the star field so it's viewable in the editor using the @tool function. We will set export variables to be able to modify it. You still need to reload the scene to update. We will also work through getting glow working in the 3D environment.
