Red Giant star textures
Does anyone have good textures suited towards red giant and supergiant stars, especially detailed ones (which include convection bubbles, etc.)? Thanks.

I made a texture for every spectral type including M stars. I mostly had main sequence stars in mind but depending on what you're after maybe you might find my texture usefull:

You can download a 3D overlay for Betelgeuse here (addon package 8). I'm not sure how accurate it is.

There isn't a download link for the Betelgeuse addon. It just straight up opens Celestia.
Added after 2 minutes 7 seconds:
Update: I was able to find the download link; thanks!
Added after 10 minutes 47 seconds:
That addon, however, is based on outdated measurements of Betelgeuse's size (905 million km as opposed to 1 billion km), so the convection bubbles do not completely cover the star's surface.

Maybe have you tried this link which instantly downloads the addon that includes Betelgeuse that SevenSpheres was talking about?
