open the console with the tilde key ~ and type set landlod 2
this can put some pressure on your vid card though
you can also edit a planet's parameters
to have more interesting features
but not the ones in our solar system
which all look flat no matter what
page up and page down will also act
like wide to narrow lens but not in the projection modes
.

My point is that it looks great in Space Engine, very detailed but if I use cylindrical projection to import to Iclone I lose a lot of resolution. Probably OK for a DOF shot but not for a background shot.

Could you explain 4k 2:1 format?

if you have AE 2018 you can really make this stuff "pop"
using the built in vr tools and 16 or 32 bit
and use the output to drive your PBR/GI in iclone
Unfortunately i don't have AE. But i would love to know what has to be done to get the best out of it using free tools. I find that the generated images look a bit fuzzy inside iClone (i don't mean the blurness slider). a few things can be done inside space engine to make it look better in the bottom right there is a hidden menu for controls for exposure of assets there are also overall quality settings and the script in my video can be altered to 4k output with notepad also in iclone the tone map can improve things if played with enough and you want to use 35mm or below camera Thanks! I will do that and report back.

It looks pretty good when adjusting the tone map in iClone. The whiteness and exposure settings reduce these artifacts. They get visible when zoomed in, even if using 4k or 8k (!).   It must have something to do with the way iClone displays the image. I've compared them to regular HDRIs but can't see any difference in bit depth and such. However, this is still awesome and the possibilites are endless!!

I have not been able to get the same quality from the cylindrical projection vs. the skybox. Maybe you will get better luck...

The skybox method looks obviously better, but there's also an issue with how it is displayed in iClone. Unfortunately i can't explain this because my english is too bad. Maybe i'll post a screenshot later. However, what i can definitely say is that either images don't look as good in iClone as they do on my desktop. When i open it in GIMP, it looks perfect and i can zoom in without seeing the same color artifacts. I want to know why this happens.
