Philip Walker originally started as a 3D games artist, but then decided he wanted to combine his current skills with coding so that he could see through the majority of his games' and apps' development himself. Philip has worked in several industries as an artist and/or a Unity developer, using various types of technology and techniques.

I would like to especially thank the Packt team for supporting me from start to finish with this second edition. And a big shout out to Aamir!
