What kind of visual effects can we expect with future stars and suns?

So yeah, we did a quick experiment, mostly regarding my work with gas clouds, where we needed to start simulating magnetic fields to try to create a bit more organic kind of feel. Give a bit more detail and life into things. And we can actually use that tech, and did try using it, to create the details and vector fields to help move particles to try and simulate the movements with the sun. So you could get the surface movement as well as some of the corona flares coming out. It was a good initial test. It was good highlighting where we might need to improve in the future and where we could definitely add. It does have a lot of potential to just look absolutely awesome.
