Hi there, where can I find a good tutorial explaining how I could 
achieve to make some smoke (from a chimney far away) and some fog (or 
better yet, some pollution smog fog)?

Thanks in advance!

Don't know about smoke, but there are a nice page about fog
at:  http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/povray/fog/

This is by Paul Bourke, and all his pages are worth
checking out (http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/).
Lots of nice stuff about graphics and math.

Have fun,
Frans.

Hmmm, isn't the fog discontinued or obsolete in POV 3.5?

If not, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks,

Silly me!  I printed the reference part and left the tutorial on the 
computer but finally I forgot about the tutorial part!

Thanks!

No.

You might be thinking of the fact that media is more accurate and a far 
better simulation of fog than the fog feature. It is also much slower, 
so when the advantages of media are less obvious, fog is still useful.

Ok, I remember I think it was the halo that became obsolete...?

Anyway,  Thanks a lot!

  This is correct.  Halo was an experimental feature, as are some of the
newer features in POV-Ray.
