'I thought about rendering both images to a flat mesh like a sprite and fading the alpha on one to reveal the other '
I've done this for intro screens, but the images end up slightly blurred, and when you replace the last with the actual bmp for clarity there' a noticeable visual blip.
For changing 3D scenes, I ended up 'childing' a black cube to the camera whose alpha lightens to reveal the new scene.
It's... acceptable.
