About the Reviewer

Pang Lih-Hern is a computer game engine programmer with five years of industry experience. He started programming when he was 12, learning the quick Basic language. After graduating with a degree in Software Engineering and Games Design from Multimedia University Malaysia he started his freelancing endeavor that eventually lead him to be part of the core technical team of John Galt Games (Malaysia). He was part of the decision making group in designing and implementing the company's proprietary game engine. Lih-Hern is also actively involved in the open source front, often submitting fixes and features for the popular open source Ogre3D engine. One notable contribution is the Parallel Split Shadow Map feature that enhances the shadow rendering of a 3D scene. He is also a strong advocate of Blender and is currently holding the position of maintaining the Blender exporter to Ogre3D's mesh format.

After leaving John Galt Games (Malaysia), Lih-Hern co-founded Liquid Rock Games with his fellow artist partner Yap Chun Fei. The goal was to create innovative AAA quality games without the need for huge budget cost by the means of using open source technology and tools such as Blender, Gimp, and Ogre3D. As of now, Liquid Rock Games is in the process of developing its first racing title named Aftershock—an online multiplayer post-apocalyptic racing game. The game's artwork is modeled and textured using Blender and Gimp, showing the capability of such tools in the commercial market.
