This started off as a stone corridor, but after building it from bare 
textures it reminded me of a Silent Hill corridor and so morphed into this 
:)

Still not 100% happy, but then never am. I must thank Bob Hughes and 
Christopher James Huff for the explanation regarding parallel lights and 
Ingo for the wallstucco example which I had fun playing with, and anyone 
who's posted answers regarding how media works.

Liable to come back to this for some minor tweaking on the water 
reflection, tone done the blood and still can't get ior to work with media 
to produce a light beam; but for now, on to the next project - so expect 
some more strange questions in p.newusers :)

Just me, but I think that changing the scene so that so much of the
frame is not viewed through a light beam would make this a lot nicer.
Swapping the large windows for asylum-style doors (the ones in the
movies with the small windows) would make for a quick test of that
theory.

Which is what I tried to do with the media density, I'm not totally happy 
with it myself;
fortunately I set the windows to be controlled by variables so I can 
adjust height etc very easily. I assume you mean shrink the height of the 
windows to form horizontal slit-type windows and have the camera looking 
under the beams. I'll try it now.

Hmm yes I do prefer that, <sigh> I might just tilt the lights to dip them 
below the water, or raise the water level, or... no I'll be at it forever 
:) I'll just return to it from time to time and tweak a bit here or there. 
Thanks for the suggestion I think it's improved it.
