Well, I am using QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 to open my image-sequences…
(unfortunately QuickTime 10 doesn’t do it yet…)

As far as I know, one needs Photoshop Extended to import image-sequences…?

“Quote”
In Photoshop Extended, you can open video files and image sequences in the following formats.
QuickTime video formats
MPEG‑1
MPEG‑4
MOV
AVI
FLV from QuickTime is supported if you have Adobe Flash 8 installed.
MPEG‑2 is supported if an MPEG‑2 encoder is installed on your computer.
Image sequence formats
BMP
DICOM
JPEG
OpenEXR
PNG
PSD
Targa
TIFF
Cineon and JPEG 2000 are supported if the plug‑ins are installed.
For more information on plug‑ins and how to install them, see also Plug‑ins.
Note: In Photoshop Extended, you can select multiple single-layer DICOM files and open them in a video layer (like opening an image sequence). See DICOM files (Photoshop Extended).

Well, “Vue” is a very nice tool for creating extraordinary landscapes…
(I am using sometimes Vue 8, the “DigitalArts” Special Edition)

But, I guess, there are many ways to create such a little “mini planet” entirely in C4D…
One could use the Brush from the Structure Menu to deform the Sphere in many ways,
or applying a Bump or Displacement Channel to the object, or…

If you like, here is a very simple test movie I did a little while ago with the Core Version:
https://web.mac.com/nolan.scott/Gallery/mini_planet.html
(using one sphere with a displacement-channel and another one for the water level,
the trees and other objects are placed manually…)

Those cubes are created as “primitive” objects…
Make them “editable” (shortcut “C” key) converts them to polygonal objects…

Select the Scale Tool (T) and the Model Tool / Either click and drag at one of the handles,
or disable one or two of the axes “X, Y, Z” (top toolbar) and drag in the viewport anywhere…

There are two fairly similar tools available that can be used for move, scale and rotate…
(The Model Tool and the Object Tool)…
In Short: The Model Tool is for modeling / The Object Tool is for Animating…

Check out the Help files: Type in “Model Tool”… It’s all very well explained there…

Open the Content Browser / Presets / Cinema 4D / Misc / Tiled Camera…
Drag the Tiled Camera into the viewport…
Drag your Scene Camera into the Reference Camera window…

Choose your Tiles per Axis (for 4 tiles leave it at 2) / enable Use Tiling…

Open the Render Settings / Frame Range choose Manual /
e.g. for 4 tiles choose Frame Range from 0 to 3….

Make sure the Tiled Camera is selected and activated…

Render your Scene…

Well, please check out this already very famous “ 1955 Chevy Bel Air Tutorial”
https://www.7thchamber.com/tutorials/Chev/index.htm

Download the Reference Material and Setup…
(Cinema 4D file and Reference-planes included)

Even it’s done in Version 6, it should give you the idea, how to set it up correctly…
