Could someone tell me the correct syntax for using
the 'object' pattern in a media density ?

I tried simply this :

sphere {<0,0,0>,10 hollow
  interior
  {
  media {
   emission .1
   density {
    object {box {<0,0,0>,<2,2,2>}}
   }
  }
  }//<-- stops here
  pigment {Clear}
}

But dear POV tells me "error : missing pigment"...

The object pattern is similar to a block pattern like checker or hexagon
but the list items have to be inside the object{} block and are not
optional.

For syntax see section 6.8.3.2 and 6.7.11.23:

sphere {<0,0,0>,10 hollow 
  material {
    interior {
      media {
        emission .1
        density { 
          object {
            box {<0,0,0>,<2,2,2>}   
            density {rgb<1,0,0>}
            density {rgb<0,0,0>}  
          }    
        }
      }
    }  
    texture { pigment { color rgbt 1 } }
  }
}

Oooooh.  OK, thanks :-)

(maybe it's time for me to re-print and re-read the full
  docs...)
