If you are not doing animation, stop here!!

ANIMATION:

Remember the layer with all the tubes in the frames? Go to that layer, duplicate. (I'm doing this with xenofex 1.0, if you are using the newer version this may be different, just make sure the visiblity is set to 70 in the end process.) Go to the original layer, (should be the bottom one) and set visiblity to 70. Go to the top layer, effects-xenofex- constellation with the following settings:
star size: 15
sharpness: 74
overdrive: 48
random speed: 50

Go to edit, copy merged and paste as new animation in animation shop. Back in paint shop pro, undo last command (the constellationsettings). Now
continue doing this changing the speed by 10 each time, till you hit 100, this should give you six layers.

Save in animation your 'normal' way.....
