With 1 click, you can create animated fog:

You can add the backgound material to any object: 

in this example I use an object created with “A.N.T.Landscape” already present in the addons of your Blender

Now it’s easy to create videos inside your dome

This example was rendered in Eevee, about 1 second per frame with an 8k background on a GTX1080TI.

More freedom of video with the camera:

Note: Not all backgrounds will be perfect for this type of animation (Although all image based backgrounds can be used for this purpose)

All backgrounds with open panoramas are very good for this purpose

Have you ever thought of animating a vehicle inside an HDRI without inserting any other 3D model? Now it’s simple:

Save your background directly from the model, it only takes 2 clicks:

Now you can easily create a 360 degree background directly from your 3D model. This has now become a very easy operation:

Almost 400 HDR ready to use in 1/2/4/8k:
