he came to 3D “I was always looking outside the windows when I was at school… I
was a boy in the moon (I’m still :) I drew a lot during the courses… finally I
went to the Fine art school of Bordeaux where I studied photo and video in the
“art and Media” option. “This is shown on this site http://www.raph.com/3dartists/interviews/i-i277.html .

explains “I did this picture after the lift originally designed by Jujol, an
early 20th century Architect, friend of Gaudi. This is also shown on the same

catch moods and moments during others play the
game. He wants them to enjoy the game as much as he enjoyed making it. This is
