IMAGE DESCRIPTION:  
-----------------   
Museum is for me a large - infinite - building with high walls and labyrinthic corridors. The atmosphere 
generated by these complex perspectives is really the most important for me, more than the objects 
themselves. So, I spent many time in conceiving and building the walls, ceilings, and perspectives issues.
I choose a camera position and rotation that reveal 3 main directions - X, Y and Z.
The perspective is completed with additional corridors and overview to others circular halls.

Le thème "musée " evoque pour moi une immense - infinie - construction avec de hauts murs et des couloirs
labyrinthiques. L'ambiance générée par des perspectives complexes est pour moi l'aspect le plus important 
de ces espaces, plus que l'importance des objets exposés. Ainsi , j'ai consacré un maximum d'effort sur
l'architecture en choisissant un point de vue avec 3 points de fuite pricipaux .
Des couloirs additionnels ( à 45°) et des apperçus sur d'autres halls circulaire complètent l'ambiance.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
------------------------------------------
I just use geometrical shapes combinated with basic CSG operators.
The global effect of complex structure is obtained by the multiplication of basic 
objects with multiple loops in the museum.pov file. I prefered this technic 
because it's easier to make global adjustments with parametrics value. I think I'd have 
more difficulties with an object generator.

The tricks used in this pictures are :
- A surround mirror to make the scene deepest with few objects
- A rotation of camera to create 3 axis perspective.
- Use of random function and macros to generate variants of objects (pictures on the walls, 
sphere textures).                    
- A file wich contains names of pictures files. You can add file names in this file to increase the variety 
of wall images.
