Night time in a city. I find the sky to be correct especially if there 
is some mist. I guess however, that the street lights are too close 
together. Normally, well, in my experience, there is some darkness 
remaining halfway between two lights. In your scene, the light cones are 
probably overlapping. Otherwise, an impressive image, even better than 
the day time scene imho.

Thanks for posting. I quite like this version and have grabbed a copy. 
Indeed something special about each day's dawn and dusk - your image's 
fog is close to what I saw during my dawn trip to the grocery this 
morning. :-)

I would say that was worth the wait! The daytime picture was moody already but
for me this one really gives it the right feel.

I tried finding a photo I was lucky to get a while ago of a replica Tardis/phone
box when some people were wheeling one into a hotel near me last year, or the
year before. Couldn't locate it.

Occurred to me the signal light on top might not have been white in the series,
but I didn't find anything I was able to determine whether it was really blue or
not. There are pictures showing it as yellow-white, white, blue-white and blue.

And while I was looking, I thought about how the light might have only been on
or flashing while the Tardis was on the move through time. Again, I didn't find
anything to say one way of another.

Did see this image showing actual police box design and the Doctor Who designs:

I would guess yours is most like the real thing, judging from that.

Did you find the Blue Box Project?

There are blueprints and links.

The version in this image is the box used for the 12th incarnation of 
the doctor. It has a more acrylic painted look, different windows and 
top light than the version I posted about 4 years ago:

http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3C5231bd70@news.povray.org%3E/

This was the version of the 11th doctor with an overall more used look.

Both versions are based on the original BBC construction plans found 
while following some links at

http://tardisbuilders.com

and textured with the help of blu-ray stills.

I made also a "Hartnell Box" (it is quite small compared to the newer 
ones) and will make at least the one of the 4th doctor when I find the 
time ;)

POV-Ray's scattering media with its Mie haze and Mie murky types to 
create all kinds of atmospheric effects with ease is one of the features 
that I miss in any other rendering engine I have used so far.

You are right, of course. I was planning for a night scene from the 
beginning and in fear it might get too dark I did put a lot of street 
lights quite close together in there. Silly me.

Thanks Thomas.

Thanks Bill, I really love to use these Mie haze and Mie murky 
scattering media types for creating such effects.
