Fulldome video - simulated view of moving through a gas cloud or Nebula

Trying to create a different version of this video by ESO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3t_gjuXWk - led me to various searches, where apparently IFSRenderer was supposed to be easier to create Nebula videos than Blender. There's the disadvantage that it runs only on Windows, and also doesn't seem to be accelerated much using an NVidia graphics card? So, these renders are only 1024x1024 - also, since these are supposed to be clouds, we can probably scale them to 4k - and probably just get a softer look for the nebula. These renders went at around 4 to 5 frames per minute on the computer with the NVidia 1060 card. 

Fulldome video suitable for playback in Planetariums - 


And one more (which was actually done earlier, on a laptop with integrated Intel graphics) - 


The saved settings for these are uploaded to github,
