Looks fantastic. However it can not be used in big scenes. Isnt there any way to add the fog in postprocess? Which can be used with atmospheric scattering?

nice fog 
clouds - yes!
I've bought that Artlantis rendering software a while back (and is totally useless to me now) - it is crappy and overpriced compared to octanes quality - but it has 4-5 different cloud settings - which makes that rendering software that much easier to use and fun - and yes I would love to see it in octane
- also I always use sun settings for quick rends inside 3dmax - since I have to pull more actions when using HDRI - could you please make hdri load somewhat easier - I like the standalone version approach - just click here and load hdri - why not load it inside 3dmax octane settings - or load it inside the octane daylight object - that would be much more easier to load - I almost stopped using HDRI inside 3dmax because of this workflow - and I always use hdri when testing out the standalone - not sure how the rest of the gang feels - but it is also a more visible approach for new users so they don't have to look up the manual

@acc24ex
You can save your env. material to a library and use it every time you need HDR lighting.
Just a drag and drop action.

Sorry, I don't understand how the sphere around the camera works. Everything goes out of focus when I put it in a bigger scene and the focus picker doesn't seem to solve the problem. What am I doing wrong exactly? The fog 'box' works fine in any scene though, I just don't get the rays which I presume the sphere around the camera makes.

@suvakas - thanks for the tip - didn't think about that approach - can this be saved in the octane liveDB - I got used to using it as well - preset HDRIs
@princedragoncok - did you try reducing the aperture settings to zero - if it still goes out of focus - then your scene scale is too low - check units setup and try importing from a bigger scene to the octanefog file to test out scaling issues
