An attempt at volumetric lighting

Rendered with the octane plugin.
What I learned, render the Image with slightly too high gamma settings so you have more wiggle room to adjust the contrast and brightness without losing the fog in post. Was my first attempt at this so any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated.

Nice - when I see that pic I remembered an item I'm searching for. Does anybody know where to find a simple disco dance floor ? I mean a dance floor with squares that are illuminated like in the film "saturday night fever" from 1977 only not that complex. A simple floor with squares that glow in different colors is enough. No different colored spots that shine down. I think I saw something like that in a DAZ3d Steampunk or SF environment but I can't find it again.
You can easily make that floor yourself from emissive primitives. It's not that hard. Just make a bunch of tiles of the size you desire, lay them out like a floor and change them in the surfaces tab to glow light.

Wow! I missed the wings on this one the first time I looked at it. This is really cool. Love the use of light.
