Update on space picture

The 3D/2D space picture is taking too long to complete.  I make things way too complicated and quite often end up abandoning or postponing a picture because I lose interest before it's finished.
The issue I'm having with importing images into Bryce is that a faint outline is created around the image that makes it look amateurish.  My second tortoise picture suffers from that problem.
The current issue with the space picture is that I don't like using other people's models - both the planet and the spaceship are third party models - unless  they're official royalty-free models like the ones available from DAZ productions.
