Richard A. Hawley

Richard Hawley started programming in the early 1980s at the start of the home computer craze with the Sinclair ZX-81. Before leaving high school he had worked on three game projects for Assassin Software and later worked on conversions of classic strategy board games for 8- to 16-bit machines. He went on to develop end-user tools for popular flight simulations including Empire Interactives Enemy Engaged helicopter series and the highly successful Origin Janes Longbow series (MissioneerPlus). Hes the director of Tricubic Studios, a small UK company dedicated to creating simulation and training environments using off-the-shelf 3D engines including Unity and Leadwerks. Together with technical artist David Hopkinson (Total War: English Civil War conversion) and physics guru Fred Naar (creator of Helicopter Total Realism for Microsoft Flight Simulator X) they are collectively known for their work on helicopter simulations.

About the Reviewers

Adrian Licuriceanu started programming from an early age. Later, in both high school and college, he studied computer science and from the very beginning was fascinated with graphics programming. After graduating from college, in 2000, when a funding opportunity arrived, he founded Quad Software with the aim of creating technology for Massively Multiplayer Games. During the 5 years that he was the lead programmer he developed two engines used for MMO games. Later, he built on the previous experience to create Grome, a game-level editor currently employed by many professional studios. After two years of internal development, together with a small team of programmers, they managed to bring Grome to commercial quality and successfully launched the product in 2007. Currently, Grome is at its third version and it is used by many top professional game studios, simulation industry corporations, and universities. After another two years from the initial Grome launch, Adrian and his team made public the Graphite engine, the rendering middleware companion to Grome, an engine that can be used to render the complex scenes Grome can produce.

Stefano Provenzano is an Italian senior consultant and software engineer, who has worked on several projects in different fields of computer science including 3D real-time engines for PC and Playstation videogames, visual simulation and virtual prototyping, web application, and system integration.

In 2006, Stefano started his own software development and consulting company, Shin Software. Currently, Stefano is working on RIA and hi-quality mobile/web 3D real-time applications using Unity3D.
