About Me:
Initialy interested in creating game componants, it led me to learn about 3d modeling, texturing, shadering and scripting. It also led me to learn some tools like 3dmax, GMAX, MilkShape, Quark, Torque Constructor, Photoshop, ... But lately, by discovering the existances of Virtual World projects at IBM where I work, it got me interested into this new area of business, from a designer point of view.

Through this, I started to get curious about all Virtual World projects.

For the past 6 years, I have been on a voluntary basis, an Autodesk GMAX support forum moderator at www.turbosquid.com

Licenced software. ==> Torque is made by… Continue

To publicise our engine AliceServer and what Nice Tech is capable of really.

We have something quite unique but not exposed in any major way to the US market at the moment.

Hi! I would like to introduce my company Nice Tech and our new Virtual World platform AliceServer on this site, but am a little unsure how to go about it in terms of process?

Could advise please? stuart@nicetech.co.uk
