I have not seen English version arrow1. I guess by the nature of it the "work around" has the work part correct. I think the Skydomes created to suit Iray are appearing now so might not be major issue for long. I have just been getting decent images of clouds I have in my library replace the enviroment jpg with those and change it to "Finite" use the dome axis rotation tools and the mini preview port to get a cloud scene not far off the real thing. The Finite setting defo changes the depth of the blue considerably. Because it is a dome the ground is to be considered the centre point, so basically the middle point of your picture pretty much lands there so a bit of blue below the cloud start point is helpful so they don't end up too low in scene

There are good clouds in the market place and you will find many clouds in the freebie section for testing so you can find the style you like. I have discovered it is much better if they contain darker/heavy blue, fluffy clouds with good gaps between them and no mountains etc. Link to free clouds
