==Video game developing career==

Ancel met the game developer Nicolas Choukroun in Montpellier at the age of 17. He worked as a graphics artist on several of Choukroun's games, such as ''The Intruder'' and ''Pick'n Pile''. Ancel's first demo, ''Mechanic Warriors'', was developed for software house [[Lankhor]]. In 1988, Ancel created a computer animation illustrating the effect of CFCs on the ozone layer as part of a competition in a professional journal. The animation, which depicted the Earth being transformed into a vast desert, did not win the competition; however, it attracted the attention of [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]], who hired him as a graphics artist.[[File:Michel Ancel Rayman.png]]
