Hi,

Would it be possible to somehow create fog-in-a-box?

That's light fall-off, that's different from fog as fog is more or less 
random.

  Says who?-)

  If you want fog with varying density,

In my experience with RL fog, when there is little to no wind, fog is prety 
uniform. Otherwize, it tend to comform to the turbulence in the air flow.

Just fill a box with scattering media, add "hollow" to allow the box to contain 
that media. If you want non-uniform fog, add a density statement with some 
pattern, like bumps or granite, optionaly with some turbulence.

Yes, it is indeed possible, and you will get effects unlike those which 
  media or attenuation produce. This code works:

//**********************
fog{rgb 1 distance 4 }

box{<-5,-4,-5>,<5,4,5>
  pigment{rgbt 1}
  inverse
  rotate y*25
}
//**********************

If you want fog in the rest of your scene, some complex csg operations 
will be needed.

Hope it helps~

Only work if the camera is inside the box. If the camera is outside, you must 
use a difference with the box and another object around the camera. That object 
must have texture{color{rgbt 1}finish{ambient 0 diffuse 0}}.
