Black line Horizon

[L i am]

Oh, make sure if you do try the background image in SU, make sure the sky image does not have a Sun in it and the camera position is behind you. That will also add more definition to your model.

Are you sure that it's a spherical (360°) panorama and not a hemispherical (180°) panorama?
Can you share the panoramic image you use and SketchUp file?

below sea level? not sure what u mean

Make some huge rectangular (sea) with water material plus some wave displacement and put vray plane under the sea. Remember rendering output is only 1st stage, usually some Pshop doodling should be applied.
