One of my works in progress is an orbital view of a planet with a satellite at
relatively close range. The problem is that I need a fairly fine detail on the
satellite, so I've modeled it at 1 unit = 1 inch, but a planet of the same scale
doesn't render properly.
So I'm fishing for suggestions.
Regards,
A.D.B.

Scale the whole scene down? Just because you've modelled a satellite at
1 unit = 1 inch doesn't mean you can't just "scale 0.01" it ;-)
Fake it, scaling down the planet and moving it closer to compensate?
Render the planet separately using a spherical camera, and then using
that as a sky sphere?

One thing that works for me is to create two scenes. In one scene,
render the planet very small, with a correspondingly small camera angle.
Copy the camera settings into another scene file, but with a new,
desired camera angle. Map the image of the planet onto a box using
Rune's illusion.inc.

That's what I'd do. :-D

Me too, and you only have to determine the apparent size of the planet. You
probably can calculate it, but I did it once in Moray just by moving spheres
around :-)

If you scale the planet down several orders of magnitude and move it
closer, it will look identical.
