Reality in production


In the course of three years, Reality has been used in many different situations by artists of all extractions. Recently, I have been contacted by Sam Kennedy (http://preta3d.com/blog/2013/06/24/whos-using-reality-sam-kennedy-professional-illustrator-and-teacher/), a professional illustrator who has worked for the gaming industry for 12 years. Sam's work has been used for games like Medal of Honor and the Tom Clancy series, just to name a few. Sam uses Reality for Studio in his professional work. In fact, Sam is so impressed by Reality that he teaches how to use it in his Rapid Illustration class at ZBrush Workshop.

Ron Mendell (http://www.ronmendell.com) is a veteran of Hollywood productions, as his extensive IMDB credits show. Ron creates props and gadgets for movie productions, and he uses Reality to provide a 3D mockup of the prop that needs to be created. Ron recently used Reality in the production of Jurassic Park 4 and Hunger Games 2.
