A standalone red dwarf star inspired by the supplied Proxima Centauri reference. Dark red plasma regions have gently evolving edges and fine detail on a smooth spherical silhouette. The material loops over 40 seconds at default speed. The asset is an artistic game visual, not a scientific simulation or a full space environment.

A ready-to-place Unity URP prefab with an animated unlit plasma shader and a normalized spherical mesh. Adjust flow, speed and emission in the material. Includes a simple spherical collider, overview scene, optional demo URP pipeline and written setup instructions. The shader animates without runtime scripts or an Animator. Engine material animation is an adaptation of the Blender procedural effect.

Requires Unity 6000.6.1f1 with URP 17.6.0; tested on Windows. Built-in/HDRP and other platforms/versions have not been tested. This is one celestial asset, not a complete space environment. FBX/OBJ source exports contain a static texture; the Unity prefab contains the moving effect.
