IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

 When you were young, you've been told that color screens worked
with a lot of little phosphorescent red, green and blue elements,
and that a cathodic ray was scanning repeatedly the screen to quickly
lighten the little things.

 You grown up, and it's time to tell you the truth : let me introduce 
to you Roger, Gary and Bob. Here's some more information about them :

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

 -Roger, Gary and bob are articulated dummies, made from straight csg,
 their boots are modified sPatch sample file.
 -everything in the rooms is CSG, lightened with very soft area_lights
 (the rooms' walls are white, lights are coloured)
 -3 kinds of rooms, repeated along an hexa grid
 -camera placed in a way that matches the monitor's perspective

 The unglued wallpaper just over the plinth is a little height_field.
 The wallpaper texture is a checker inside a checker.
 The monitor is CSG, with a light source inside to simulate light emission
from the screen.
