No its ok, it's just slightly more effort to do it while I'm at work, I can
easily get in later on :)

Well if you're using a suitable mesh defined externally, it might be possible to
read it into POV-Ray during parsing and do the offset in SDL. But it won't be
foolproof, and probably not always convenient. Better to use a triangle editor
to do the offset.

Found it where guys are talking about building the "real" thing and a 
great resource.

(not sure if this direct link works)

Anyway, my version is done by a macro that should (in case I'll find the 
time) create all the various boxes from all doctor incarnations.
ATM only Hartnell, Tennant and Smith are supported - sorry no McCoy 
Tardis yet.

In the CG industry this effect is usually done by rotoscoping.
This can easily be simulated within POV-Ray (by rendering the box and 
the background separately and including shadows with some no_image 
trickery and finally composing the images).

But I know, POV-Ray purists would consider this as cheating.

I see you count your doctors in binary.

Well, those references are scammed. :-(

...in our garden, and Lucy Liu - not the actress, our cat - is quite 
curious.

We moved to a new home (actually a house from the 18th century) this 
spring and I couldn't resist to put the blue box into the garden.

Composing/rotoscoping done by using Photoshop and POV-Ray. The Tardis is 
rendered with POV-Ray, masking done with Photoshop and the final 
composing with POV-Ray again.
It was more easy with POV-Ray to add a bit of turbulence at the base of 
the Tardis for the final composing step as it would have been with P'shop.

Far from perfect - and I did forget to turn on the roof lamp :( - but it 
is just meant to test the method.

Nice one! I shall have to try rotoscoping one day I guess ;-)

Nice house indeed. High ceilings. Not too cold in winter?

We haven't spend winter there yet, but we have already a lot of firewood 
for the old stove ;)
And in addition it has meanwhile also a contemporary central heating. A 
lot of work with an old building like that - this means almost no time 
for POV-Ray.
