Nice!  That looks a bit like the "falling sky" effect from TG 0.9.  I wonder if anyone has really tried to reproduce a bliss yet....

Tried, and failed.   Might have another go.   According the Planetside, the bliss-effect was an interesting side-effect of TG 0.9 mechanics and an unintentional effect.   Sadly they may have "ironed it out" - but I'm sure there is another "Easter egg" effect somewhere  ;)

BTW, nice clouds dhavalmisty.   Looks like a vertical warp could have been used, or a subtly applied vector stretch (or both).   Wonder what it looks like with the sun shining through the denser parts of the clouds.

I applied the wrap of 1.25 and no noise stretch was applied....

Maybe you know this, but it's the GI settings.  Set them to zero.

cool effect. could almost be used as rain if you colored it right and maybe added a second cloud layer

I think it looks quite like rain already - just make it a bit more consistent and, as had been said earlier, add another cloud layer behind it...

Very nice effect. As o_b said it looks a lot like the "falling sky" effect in TG 0.9. In this case it's TG2's flexibility rather than render bugs that make this possible (as in the case of TG 0.9).
