I'm not sure what Indi means, but I'd just render a background in a modeller, and texture it onto a plain, or use a large sprite. So you need a modeller. There are some free ones around.

What indi meant is that if you use the DRAW TO BACK command, any 2D stuff (including COPY BITMAP, PASTE IMAGE etc) will draw to the background and your 3D will be rendered over the top of it

For free Plug-ins, source and the DBPro Interface library for Visual C++ 6 and .NET
