DS Sun and volume light?

[nicnac]

First off I would like to thank sitni sati for their hard work on 2.5. I just love the new subsurface and foam system. I just have a question regarding the DS Sun and volume light. It would be extremely powerful if I was able to use volume light (specifically fr-volume light) in conjunction with the DS Sun and 3D clouds. I want rays of light emanating from the DS Sun and through the 3D clouds. So far I see no volume light when using 3dsmax native volume light. final render's volume light crashes the computer. I have a dual 3.4ghz xeon with 2gb RAM and a Nvidia Quadro FX 3000. Is this possible with the current version of DS? I would BUY Dreamscape 3.0 if this option was possible. So this would be my wishlist for dreamscape 3 along with a Seascape for making small creeks and rivers that can run downhill and you can bend it any angle you want.

Hello,

Thank you for your email.
This is possible to some extend if you enable geom->sky shadows in DS Sun.
This is a a little bit slower option that we want and we plan to improve it for 3.0.

Hello Kresimir,

I have tried what you said but I still don't see any thing. I have attached the file and an image of what I got. If you would be so kind as to review it and see what I did wrong, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
