Developer BIO

Few people know more about games engines than Servan. Co-founder of Qube Software, the source of Asylum's platform-independent, real-time 3D technology. He is the technical director of Asylum Entertainment and one of the company's principals.

In 1993 Servan co-founded RenderMorphics, a company specializing in cutting-edge 3D graphics technologies. RenderMorphics rapidly became a world leader in its field with the widely acclaimed RealityLab technology.

Servan subsequently headed up the DirectX 3D team at Microsoft responsible for integrating 3D graphics into Windows 95.
