Here's an extremely quick render I put together of TerraDome plus Dies Nefastus (which doesn't have Poser-optimized materials and I didn't bother to tweak them for this). 

This render uses IDL with smooth polygons turned off.  The lighting is a little off but I left it alone so you could see what it looks like "out of the box".  Dies Nefastus looks a little "blown out" from a lighting perspective but otherwise it's pretty good.  Dies Nefastus could use some materials tinkering and the render needs some postwork and vegetation, but this took about 2-3 minutes to build with TerraDome (if that) and maybe 3-5 minutes of render time with IDL (render dimensions were around 1200x1000 for my render which I reduced to post here).  I have my render settings up pretty high. Cast shadows, displacement and raytracing were on.

BTW, I had to scale Terradome to 99% in order to get the ground to appear properly in the preview.

Oh, and don't be put off that there's a manual with Terradome (as if it's hard to use).  It's simple to use out of the box.  Load the base figure from Figures, inject the morphs you want from Pose and open the Materials to choose your material for each zone and the sky dome.  Very simple.  The manual helps with these basics plus other more detailed tips, including render tips.
