Hmmm, I'd add a few more atmospheric effects. As in: the last row of skyscrapers itself should have already a lightblue tone. The further away an object, the more it should have the color of the atmosphere. This way, you wouldn't really need to rely on the semi-transparency (yet, it's cool )

Also, the bottom of the frontmost buildings could vanish in clouds/fog, thus uncluttering the whole scene, giving the eye a bit of relaxation.

nice improvements! I certainly get the feeling of I'm battling on a level above everything and it invokes a certain star wars feel in me despite the lack of light sabers.

I agree with BP's final statement. Other than that, I have nothing to add.

thx for the feedback.
so i did add some clouds but i'm not completely sure if it does look better now.

I first want some opinions before uploading the whole bg again.
thanks in advance

let the buildings fade into the clouds.

period.

[lf2TimmE1]

i don't really get what u mean by let them fade into the clouds. (i thought that's what i've already done)
could u be a bit more precise?

[Silverthorn]

Don't make it look so cloudy but more like a gradient. Smooth fading would probably look better than those sharp cloud-edges

Oh, also, the ground-plane... it looks a little too detailed for my likings. Pretty over-texturized if you ask me. Imo, that one is a bit distracting...

[Marshall]

but it's hard to find a solution to solve the glass problem though...

anyway, right now the mist does not seem to fit the background also because of the colour. If it has a similar colour theme as the clouds furthest back, it may be better.

ok..thanks again for comments and yea.. i've overworked it again:

- buildings fade more into the clouds/mist
- nontransparent platform parts shouldn't be too distracting anymore

comments and critism are greatly appreciated again.

try something like this one the glass:

░░░▒▓▓▓▒░░
░▒▓▓▓▒░░░░
▒▓▓▓▒░░░░░

so its actually white light fading into transparentness
