A possible solution:
First: do a normal render of your scene.
Second: Remove ALL textures and pigment from all objects. Bind the whole in a 
large union. Give that union a gradient pigment going from black (for the 
farthest elements) to white. Scale the gradient so that it don't repeat itself.
It's easier to leave the camera along the Z axis and use gradient z.
A trick: create the scene in an union, and rotate that union instead of mooving 
the camera.
Use conditional statements for your textures and pigments with an apropriate 
variable. You can then use a 2 frames animation, frame 1 use individual 
textures, frame 2 use the gradient.
Use #if(frame_number =1)pigment{......}#end for the various objects.
Use #if(frame_number =2)pigment{gradient z scale SceneZExtend}#end before 
closing the union.
Add "+kff2" on the command line.
