I'm building a new computer wall-desk in my basement, which will hopefully
be large enough for our 3 computers, plus 3 people. If not, we'll probably
have to keep one of our current desks.
Anyway, one of my first POV-Ray exercises was to build a fairly decent model
of my basement. At the time, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but
it turned out fairly well anyway.
Well, I thought it would be nice to get a decent idea of how my desk would
actually look in the basement, so I put this together. I've noticed a few
mistakes, but since I'm not making a poster out of this, I guess I really
don't care very much. However, please feel free to suggest things, as I
still have much to learn, and this is a fun little side-project.
One thing I couldn't get right was the flourescent light. It just doesn't
seem like it's emitting light (ambient 1 + an area light source +
radiosity). I changed the ceiling tiles to actually look like my real
ceiling, which I finally installed a couple months ago. I never could get
the carpet quite right with procedural textures.
Incidentally, my real basement has a door just a few inches left of the left
edge of the desk.

Hey, that's excellent, but aren't the chairs a little low?
I'm doing exactly the same thing this Summer.

Careful you don't spend more time modelling than actually building the real
thing :)

One suggestion on that ... if you're putting it up against the wall,
make the desk *deep*, and make sure there's holes for the wires down the
back, of course. At least 4 feet deep, unless you're committed to flat
monitors. ;-)
I did a similar thing with a custom bookshelf I had built. source
available, but it's really all just hand-crafted boxes, nothing worth
looking at.

Where are these available? They're excellent books.

I'm using a similar setup at work, both surfaces are about 26 inches deep.
However, at work, I have a keyboard tray (a fairly nice one, actually). The
person in the corner (probably me) should be plenty deep, but I'm not sure
how nice it will be in the corner spot, and where to put the keyboard. I
have a keyboard tray which is part of another desk, that I can attach
underneath one side (unless I decide to spend more money and build my own).
Cheap keyboard trays are cheap, but it is possible to get by without one.
However, that could determine exactly how high I build the desk, so I guess
I should get that figured out. (I think I'm rambling now.)

I've thought about building shelves in our bathroom closet. Perhaps I
should POV-Ray that too... ;-)

It's part of Gilles's library macro.

I think I may have removed "ambient" from the finishes in that set of macros
to get it to look right with radiosity without turning off all radiosity
everywhere.

Well, one more off-topic comment... You might want to consider putting
your back to the wall. It'll be easier on your eyes if you can look up
from the screen and focus on something mroe than a couple feet away.

Well, I did it to show the capenter what I wanted. :-)

Funny you should say that. I think it's already too late. hehe
Unfortunately, I still don't have all of the pieces that I need. I have
half of the counter-top on back-order, so I probably won't be able to start
working on it until next week.

What type of support are you planning on using at the L? I don't believe
this design is going to work. Nice looking, though.
Depending on the tools you have, I might suggest a three part top with
legs under the two seams. The wall showing under the table looks nice,
but you'll definitely need some support back there.
I don't know what your carpentry skills are like, but I can offer some
more (very) specific advice if it would help.

Wow -- I thought this was a photograph at first!
Damn fine work!
