If some one can explain me how to get this atmo http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/media/folder_215/file_2146210.jpg">http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/media/folder_215/file_2146210.jpg

I think it's possible. What you need are large, low density, high opacity clouds to fill the sky. Then you'll need to add strong scattering anisotropy, and strong cloud anisotropy.

Here is my quick attempt. Just about 10 minutes in the atmosphere editor starting from an empty scene and the "Nakuru" spectral sunset atmosphere. With a bit more time one can certainly get closer...

What do you mean by "Nakuru" spectral sunset atmosphere

It's a vue preset.
in your menu hit atmoshpere>load>sunsets>spectral
one of those presets is Nakuru

Exactly. What he said. However, this was just a starting point. I heavily modified it in the atmosphere editor and added a custom cloud layer.
If you want the setup, let me know.

As I said above. That atmosphere preset was just the starting point. You need to go into the atmosphere editor and adjust many of the parameters in order to get what I posted. The predefined cloud layers won't help much either without significant modification. The one in my image is a custom layer that I made based on what I learned in a bunch of tutorials (AsileFX, GeekatPlay, etc.).
I'll post some screen shots of the basic atmosphere setup in a few minutes.

Vue needs cloud anisotropy settings for each cloud layer to make this easier.

Glow intensity: 75%
Scattering anisotropy: 0.52
Clouds anisotropy: 0.95
The render is 1.00 gamma using auto-exposure and no natural film response. Your mileage may vary.

Hi thd777
But what do you mean by Stratus_Elongated_thin
Thank you for your help,

That is just the name I gave the cloud layer I made myself. If you want to use it, just load any Vue cloud material and then adjust the parameters in the Atmosphere editor and the function editor as shown in the screen shot.
