I haven't been using POV-Ray much lately, so to get back into the fun I put 
this together over the past few days. This image is still a rough draft 
while WIP is ongoing. Obvious subject for recreation in POV-Ray with those 
searchlights in it.

Started with 20th atop there and made a change to 21st today, mainly because 
I'm using artistic license anyway to update the look of the 1935 original--  
which itself was updated a little in more recent years but still keeps the 
same basic design.

Here's a link to the images I'm using to copy this from. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Century_Fox

BTW, I searched around for any others made before and only found an sPatch 
model (broken link to it), no renderings. Also a 3D Max model. I was fairly 
certain someone had posted one here at some point in time, so if any of you 
have, I'd love to see it.

Oh heck! Um, that was the first saved as a jpeg. Confused by the file name.

Okay, here's the 21st century one. You'll notice the changes, no doubt. I 
was using cylinder spotlights until I switched over to projected_through and 
used regular spotlights that could be placed below the beam exit points.

Nathan o'Brien posted the source code of a slightly modified logo back in
1997.

Thank you Norbert! Wow, almost 9 years ago and I still remembered (or 
thought I did) that somebody else had done one of these before. Maybe my 
memory isn't as bad as I suspect it to be.

Oh-oh. The zip file is said to be corrupt and his web site isn't there. The 
one I found through a google search is just broken links. E-mail address is 
there so maybe I could still make contact.

And I will love to share that, Paolo. Not much to it at all. In fact, it's 
probably way too simple for a good rendering. Is a WIP, of course.

I tried to get better cloud colors by using a gradient pattern on a plane 
between them and the sunlight so it would look like it gets brighter toward 
the horizon. I rendered this part alone before giving it to you and I added 
the "air" because it wasn't dark enough without that. The camera needed to 
be in this, too, or else it might be trouble to get looking right again.

I opened the zip using winzip with no problems and the files are readable.
Try the download again. If it fails we can make a plan.

I tried it a few times at first and again just now. Same thing. WinXP 
complains it's invalid or corrupt, so I used a free zip program that could 
do a repair if possible and that also said empty or bad file without any way 
to fix it. I was guessing it had something to do with a special kind but 
everyone usually uses common enough things for posting to the newsgroups.

If you could send the uncompressed file(s) to omn### [at] charternet I'd 
really appreciate that. I could even send my scene file of this 20th Century 
Fox WIP back to you if you'd like me to; meager as it is, and unchanged 
since I last posted.  ;)

I sent an email to Nathan O'Brien using pov### [at] 13netnet but that got 
returned as unknown address. He's probably still around someplace because 
his last posting was a couple years ago from what I could find.

Bob,
The files needed a bit of updating as they were written in POV 0.0?
In any event I bullied them into submission and managed a quick render of
Nathan O'Brien's original 1997 work.
Search sources in attached 20Cfox.zip for DLM to spot commented changes.
I have posted sources to p.b.s-f in plain text.

I think you may find a live Nathan O'Brien presence at
http://www.no13.net/
and some fabulous architectural renderings at
