IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Computer artists often create worlds where somebody is doing something. Here, a virtual man, working on his computer, is modelling a virtual man working on his computer, modelling....
In this picture, I've included a little "wink": the lamp makes reference to PIXAR's first movie (a lamp playing with a ball...).


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

This image took a lot of time to create, because it has got a lot of details. I wanted to create a real desk, photorealistic, with everything can be on a real desk.
I've used a lot of chanfrein boxes (desk, computer, ...). 
The computer is a box from which I model the basic lines of a computer, and then I add a map.
The man has been made with "surface".( For the anecdote, it has been made from my face...).
The screen is a simple box modified with FFD.
In order to create a realistic scene, I've used a little Focus (depth of field).
I've used a lot of photographs to create different maps
