I notice that one recent IRTC winner used Terragen to generate the
background mountains, then simply imagemapped the resulting mountains
onto the back wall.
Terragen is very easy to use produces brilliant mountains, and, at this
stage of its development, is free for non-commercial use.
It's at http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/
When you glue the results into your POV scene you just need to be a bit
careful to ensure that the lighting directions and atmospheric effects
are reasonably similar.
