Muhammad A.Moniem started in the industry at a very early age. He taught himself everything related to the game development process even before he joined college. After being a software engineer, he started to teach himself the art of game design and game art techniques. As a self-taught person, he was able to find his way into the industry very easily, which led him to be hired for big, medium, and small companies, titles, and teams. Throughout his career, he was able to contribute as a full-time or part-time employee or freelancer to games for a wide range of platforms, including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, PS4, Xbox One, and OUYA. He has also worked with technologies, such as VR, AR, and Kinect. Finally, he was able to establish his own one-person game company/team as a part-time independent developer. A lot of his indie games got recognition or have been finalists at international indie game events, such as IGF, Indie Showcase, IGC, and Tokyo Game Show. He has written another Unreal Engine book before and he has also designed an amazing website, www.mamoniem.com.
He has also worked on Learning Unreal Engine iOS Game Development , Packt Publishing , which is available at https://www.packtpub.com/game-development/learning-unreal-engine-ios-game-development.
I would like to thank all the people who helped me with this book. A special mention goes to all the team members of Epic games for their hard work on the Unreal Engine and for the great decision to make the engine and source free for everyone.
I would like to thank all the people at Packt Publishing who worked on this book. They helped me a lot and were patient when I couldn't give them enough time because of my personal obligations. Thanks for helping me and teaching me more about how to write a book.
I want to express my gratitude to my wife and kids, Lamiaa, Yussuf, and Mariam. You are my gifts. You are a very supportive family. Thanks to Loly for giving me the best environment to write this book in and thanks for believing in all my projects. Thanks to Joe and Mary for being noisy sweet kids all the way!
I would like to thank my parents for raising me and teaching me how to self-learn; it helped me a lot to learn and pass the knowledge to others.
Last but not least, thanks Egypt for being my home, safety, dream, and warm hug for a long time. Thanks for raising me and teaching me how to live. Thanks to every single person I met in Egypt; you definitely trusted and helped me learn and reach this level. Egypt, I will never be able to pay you back.
Dear God, thanks for being that Muhammad and thanks for everything. Please keep these wonderful people around me.
Kevin Adanan is an honors graduate from Teesside University, and he has worked on five games. He specializes in 3D art and has extensive experience in Unreal Engines.
Kevin is currently working as a 3D artist at 3D4Medical in Dublin, Ireland. He also works on independent games in his spare time.
You can contact him at <>.
Knowledge and practice is everything when it comes to 3D art. No one can put in the hours of practice for you, but knowledge is a precious resource that is crucial to an artist's development. There is no better way to receive knowledge than from others. Without different people taking time (often long hours) out of their lives for no gain other than my personal development, I wouldn't be the artist I am today. With this in mind, I would like to thank, in no particular order, Shafeq Rahman, Deepak Gautam, David Cockburn, Andrew Walker, Vladimir Andreevsky, William Taylor Parker, Stephan Dammrau, Mark Byrne, and Matthew Lloyd.
Brendon Clifford is a graphics and engine programmer. He has worked to create extensive and robust game engines in order to use them as graphical frameworks and independent game projects. His graphical strengths include Particle Systems, material pipeline frameworks, lighting, and post processing.
In 2015, he graduated from DigiPen Institute of Technology with a bachelor of science degree in computer science in real-time interactive simulation, and he is a minor in mathematics. During his education, he shipped four game projects using a combination of Unreal Engine 4 and custom built game engines, such as the Prometheus Engine.
After graduating, he began working for Ember Entertainment as a gameplay programmer. He has worked to develop and maintain live games for the iOS and Android platforms.
I would like to thank my father, Patrick Clifford, and my brother, Jordan Clifford, for their support in my education and career. Through my work in Unreal Engine, I would like to thank the developers of my team: Chuck Silvers, Kevin Giang, and Jeff Quek.
Javier Garcia-Lajara Herrero was part of the booming video game industry in Spain, participating in the Commandos saga by Pyro Studios, where he developed as an artist, before continuing his career in different disciplines at Virtual Toys, Bitoon, and Unusual Studios.
