What's so special about this box? Can't you just use some cylinders and CSG?
I'd be os so happy to show you, but I don't know what this box looks like
exactly...
It can't be that hard, though (??).

You're welcome.

I would think two cylinders and two torus would just about do it.
See example below. If you want a better texture do it your self.

K.Tyler

camera{location z*-30 look_at 0}
light_source{<0, 0,-100>rgb 1}
light_source{<0,14,   0>rgb 1}

union{
cylinder{<0,-1,0>,<0,0,0>10.0}
cylinder{<0, 0,0>,<0,1,0>10.1}
torus{10.1,.1}
torus{10.0,.1 translate .95*y}
pigment{rgb<.97,.98,1>}
finish{metallic ambient .3 diffuse .1 reflection .12
specular 1 roughness .01 brilliance 2}
rotate 15*-x}

sky_sphere{pigment{gradient y color_map{[0 rgb 1][1 color rgb<.196,.6,.8>]}}
pigment{bozo color_map{[0 rgb 1][.5,.55 color rgbf 1 color rgb 1][1 rgbf 1]}
scale 2}}

  It's the sky sphere that does it.

	I've made a couple of slight improvements on Kens film box. See attached
file. I think it makes it clearer what it's meant to be and you can adjust
its dimensions by changing #declare'd variables. Texture still needs work.

Nice touch. Your right, that texture still needs work. Anybody ?
