That atmosphere stuff does work, but is fiddly. Disable visibility on your model and back wall and then experiment with spotlights etc to get it working. Another trick is to use a background colour of whatever glow colour you want, and then make the wall and floor progressively more transparent. If you map the V variable into the floor transparency, it will gradually allow more background colour thru as it goes back away from the camera.
