Felix Kerger is a Computer Science student at the Technical University of Darmstadt and has been developing 3D real-time applications using Ogre 3D for more than five years. He has given several talks on software development and 3D real-time applications at different conferences and has been working for three years as an assistant researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research. He also works as a freelance journalist and reports yearly from the Game Developer Conference Europe.
I would like to thank the following persons, without whom this book wouldn't have been possible: Steve Streeting for devoting so much time to Ogre 3D and creating one of the best pieces of software I have had the pleasure to work with; my former teachers Ms. Oppel and Ms. Michel, who helped me write a report on which this book's idea is based ; my parents, who were a constant source of inspiration and motivation; Gregory Junker and Manuel Bua, my technical reviewers their comments helped me no end and improved this book a lot; and, of course, the team at Packt for their constant help and advice.
