DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I started with created my scene's environment : table, window and the background then i make the deph of field with a substitut object for my rose because making deph of field is very very slow. Table, window and wall are meshes and curtains are nurbs surfaces. when finished, i 'd created the rose's petals by lofted nurbs splines that i 'd reajusted later. I 'd made the vase whith the "lathe" option and the puddles are spheres which i displaced points. Finaly i 'd made materials : table, curtains, background and leaf are mapped texture and rose, vase, puddles are procedural texture.
