Hi Geoff, After using PhotoRoom, written by Chris Bodell, I believe that you could create all images on the fly, by script, within your own program. :D

The following Space Art links could be really useful in the creation of these LiveCode image algorithms. http://registry.gimp.org/node/297 SpaceScape Script This Script Generates a SpaceScape (StarScape) a deep space picture with stars and space dust clouds. You can determine the aspects of the space dust clouds, the color, the image size and the amount of detail. http://registry.gimp.org/node/2352 gimp-plugin-astronomy A set of plugins and scripts for astronomical image processing Not intended for scientific image processing, due to gimp's 8bit depth restriction (for "pretty pictures" only). Create an artificial galaxy. Only elliptical galaxies yet. Create artificial stars: Using different star distributions, splitted into background, object and foreground stars. http://registry.gimp.org/node/24798 Stars in the sky This script-fu makes a sky with millions sparkling stars in a new layer. The layer's dimensions, the star's spikes' length and the flare intensity can be changed. The script is based on this tutorial. This script is useful for create Space Art images, because the stars are convincing. http://registry.gimp.org/node/8172 Make Your Own Planet - Script of MarvinX's Tutorial - Updated for Gimp 2.6 This script automates many of the steps in MarvinX's fantastic "Make a Planet" tutorial, with a couple of added features. There is an atmospheric haze around the planet, and there are stars on the background layer. This script does not do the IWarp step. I leave that to the individual user to make wherever they want.. Everything else is in here. After the script is done running, you can manually adjust the hue and saturation to get the planet the color you would like. There is also an option to make the planet more earth-like (using the Land and Sea gradient on the Clouds Layer.) The sun shadow is also optional. Enjoy! http://www.gimptalk.com/index.php?showtopic=5128 http://registry.gimp.org/node/21 Planet Render Creates a planet lit on one side, with some kind of atmosphere glow. The size and color of the planet as well as the angle for the light can be set.
