For the smashed glass pane you could google an image of broken/smashed glass, put it into PS and grayscale/play about with it then map it to the transparancy of the cube, and then poss to the spec too to get the different reflective properties of a broken glass window??

Why model if ya can map!!

hello all got back to my little project finally... here's a lighting update Witt FG turned OFF. just so it would render quicker so i could see how the lighting would work.. im pretty happy with the look. ill be adding a street lamp where the yellow light is, i also decided on removing the glass smashed look too. also i added some grass, user added image

Let me know what u think of the lighing Note the booth will be a lot more visible with Fg on as theres a new light plus glow for the inside user added image

Looking good man, but as you said. Just a little hard to see the actual phone box.
