About the Reviewers
successful musician and music producer, film-maker, and 3D artist, he switched his
focus to game development in 2006. Since then he has produced three video game
titles, and has provided art and programming solutions to Unity developers across
the globe. He is based in Wellington, New Zealand.
In addition to commercial games, he has developed simulations for medical
training, architectural visualization, science and research, conservation, and visual
reconstructions for evidence used in court cases, using the Unity game engine.
I would like to acknowledge the creators of this amazing program,
this amazing tool that allows the ultimate digital experience in
creative expression. I've done a lot of things in my life, but only
when I found the gateway to real-time development through Unity
did I finally realize that I could be really passionate and successful
at the same time. My imagination has turned into a tangible reality
with this tool, and it's become a foundation to my professional
success. I can't thank you enough. I'd also like to thank my clients
for being part of the fun! Many of you have become good friends
over the code and polygons, late nights, and creative successes. And
finally, I'd like to thank Gavin Hewitt, who taught me all the hard
stuff, but also taught me how to love pencils and paper, and got me
on good firm ground right from the start...
Enjoy your work my friends!
