Hakan 'Zap' Andersson
Hakan 'Zap' Andersson has been working as "Shader Wizard" at mental images since 2004 and is the author of numerous mental ray shaders, such as the subsurface/skin shaders, the car
paint shader, as well as thearchitectural- and production shader libraries.
Prior to mental images, Zap worked at EMT, Genius CAD Software, and Autodesk where he wrote software and designed user friendly interfaces for advanced mechanical design software,
as well as authored two US patents.
Originally educated as an Engineer in Electronics, Zap's passion for computer graphics caused his graduation year "special project" to be an actual hand-built and hand-wired
graphics card, for which he wrote his first ray tracer.
Today Zap spends his days (and nights) writing shaders, documentation and tutorials for mental ray, and sometimes makes presentations at user events and conventions, as well as
maintains a mental ray tips blog (mentalraytips.blogspot.com). Occasionally he also makes little experimental visual effects movies, and he has a background in music production.
