I drew this as a quick sketch the other day and POV'd it for fun.

I'd like to media-fy the blowing sand, but this is adequate for a quick
doodle.

Looks suitably ominous - some kind of weird alien surface-to-space defence
cannon on a far off planet, used in an endless war between civilisations...

:) 

Nice concept, some media will make it look suitably more mysterious.

Great Image!  I've already ripped it to my desktop.

What colour have you used for that fog?

Is that green emitting media or a green light source.

can anyone help me get started on the media?  I keep getting an entirely
black image.

If image becomes black when you put media, it may be that scattering_color
is way too high or the object containing media is way too big

could you show your material and container code?

well, right now I have this...

 box{<-1,0,-1>*1e3,<1,1,1>*1e3 hollow
  texture{pigment{color rgbf 1}}
  interior{
   media{
    //absorption
    scattering{ 1 (1-Tan) * 0.2
     extinction .1
    }
    intervals 5
    density{granite}
    density{bumps scale <1,0.1,1>}
   }
  }
 }

and it's not black, but it's taking approximately 100,000 years to render.

That's a prety big container. If the light_source is outside of it, even with that
reduced 
extinction and relatively low density, almost all of it gets dispersed out and can't
reach whatever 
there is to light up. Try reducing the density even more, or increase the light's
intensity: start 
with LightColour*10 and work up as needed.
Using intervals 1 samples 100 can actualy be faster than intervals 5 when using method
3 (default).

One of the problems I had with a smaller container was that the tower was
casting a shadow on the inside of the container.
