Ercole "Dark Virus" Farina
My Experience is that started I had off at Victoria university doing an Advanced Diploma in Games Development. After I had graduated from Victoria University I had decided to better my experience by pursuing a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Games and Interactivity as Swinburne University. During my time at Victoria University I had learnt modelling with 3DS Max and in the second year of my time there I started working also with Zbrush in sync with my 3DS max modelling. Other skills that I have include a bit of level design with the Unreal Engine and also 2D Art and Texturing as well as a bit of 3D animation. Now currently in my 1st year at Swinburne doing the BA course I had been noticed by Batcave_Slimer for my 3D design skills and was asked if I was interested in working for the MOD Hostile Takeover 2050 as a 3D Artist. I decided this was a great opportunity for me and a good industry experience.
John "Nomadicus" Eerenberg
He has worked in the IT industry for 30+ years mainly in operating system internals; recently he started working toward a second career in gaming.

In time, John hopes to transition from the IT industry to full time in the gaming industry as a game designer, modeler, mapper.
