Have you tried a mix between Poser, Terragen and PhotoShop? Take in mind movies like SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW or STAR WARS THE PHANTOM MENACE. If your background requirements exceed Poser try to take advantage of rendering in png or psd and changing alpha channel's plane colors with Terragen landscapes
