This is driving me up walls =/
If someone could, can I please have an explanation how to get those awesome light rays, you know, like in the pics where you see the sky and those giant beams of light shining through?
I see them a lot in the desert here on sunny days with a lot of overcast, kind of fallen in love with em. So yeah, it'd be nice to know how to do them, thanks. :)
Small cloud size is the key, thickness higher than 8, sun strength of 500-800 or something like that, although it depends, increase glow power to whatever looks good.
3d clouds make it easier, but increase render time a lot, and often have bad looking areas unless you play around with them a lot.

That should help.

second edit after a better Google search:

The key parameters to get the sunrays visible are Atmosphere Accuracy, Cloud size and Metres point spacing.
