This is how all skies will look: http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb309/Xendance/nukeAirBlast.jpg
Looks pretty realistic, I think. Needs more brown though.

Did you use a material effect to achieve such a god ray effect?
Anyway, that looks really nice

It's now a stock feature in UE 3. Just came with the May UDK build.

This surely must mean that the US will have access to lend-lease greatest tanks of WW2. It would be a shame to waste all that camouflage potential...

Oh, ok, i'm still working with March build since I spend less time on it because of exams in three weeks. Yea, I deduce its now an option dedicated in the postprocessvolume properties as I see it in the screen.
I was working on such an effect two months ago, by tweaking the scenetexturesample, but couldn't something as good as it is.
Cool that its now easy to get it

Actually it's a property of directional lights rather than post process. althouhg it is post-processing the light, I suppose

The thing about those though is that they really aren't that common. You may see it sometimes in a break of clouds on a cloudy day or when it is very dusty/smoggy. Living in Arizona where it is sunshine 95% of the year I find seeing those odd.
Thought it would be awesome to see those around billowing black smoke from a burning tank or the entrance of a dark tunnel...but still used sparingly.

I think the most effective use of light shafts is thru windows of darkened rooms on sunny days and thru breaks in dense forest.

I agree. Though I REALLY think it would be cool around dark black smoke as the light would "shaft" due to hitting the lighter surrounding smoke particles. Would add some depth.

It's not a jungle but UE3 can produce some nice foliage with some work......

Even though sun rays themselves should be used sparingly, glare from sunlight peaking through leaves on a tree should definitely find a place.

Problem with light shafts is that they are a property of a dominant light source, meaning that they are universal across a map unless you do some clever zoning.
