Something I've been playing with, making a realistic looking sun in Lightwave...
How it started:

Hypervoxels/glow added:

Colors changed/more hypervoxels added:

How it looks with background, where I am now:

[an0n]

Needs to bleed into the back-ground more.

[LtNarol]

looking good, although i think the edge of the sun itself is too perfect on the last one.

[Blue Lion]

The first one looks too much like an orange....sorry

The surface should blend in with the flares, but I don't think that's possible in its current state.

Y'know, you usually can't see the light and dark spots on a star, tho. Too bright. Might help you something...

[Thorn]

I gotta play with the hypervoxels settings still...
Small updates.
Lowered the luminosity a bit on the sphere:

Lowered the global glow settings:

[Blue Lion]

I like the first one better

[Stryke 9]

Suns aren't splotchy pink.

[Blue Lion]

They are if you stare at them for a while

[Stryke 9]

No, they kinda flash yellow and red...

[Ryx]

Have you tried adding some Volume Light?

[SlipStream]

It looks good so fare.
