Creating atmosphere without fog volumes?

Man what an experience. You know… when i run into stuff like this i get angry. But its this anger that drives me to keep reading and keep experimenting until i find something i like.

I eventually did go with fog sheets. And to demonstrate how well it changes color i added some blue near the cave entrance for demonstration purposes.
As for the performance hit. I soon realized the only reason i was having this, is because at fullscreen my game performs at a terrible rate.

Only when there is absolutely nothing to render does it render well. Which i know is related to my GFX cart…
Anycase.

Fog Sheets seem to be the way to go after all. Well, that and a healthy combination of adjusting Sky color to compensate in areas.
