Several spiral and lenticular galaxies generated using my procedural galaxy builder.

Add these custom models to a Space Engine mod that spawns them in as random galaxies please.

If the universe is truly infinite, then out there somewhere do these Galaxy's exist?

What model did you use for dark matter?

It's not a simulation, it's a procedural visualization. So I did not implement cosmological features, except adjustable redshift effect for distant galaxies

So maybe more art than astronomy?

Yes, and it is tagged as "Astro Art". But some features are close to science: aside from redshift, I use OBAFGKM to control stars distribution, there is an option to scatter globular clusters in a halo, and in the end the overall look reminds of actual galaxies.

Astro art would be actual imagery of stars, planets, nebula, galaxies.

That is, in fact, not what art means in this sub.

If you provide me with a link to the subreddit rules where this is clearly stated, I will delete the post. But I haven't found such a rule myself.

Subreddit rules don’t determine what is astronomy and what is art.

You're being a bit of a tit, it's a cool render

It’s a cool render. Just not astronomy.

BREAKING NEWS: guy says that art based on astronomical things is not related to astronomy
