Cliff Sharif (aka Emperor Katax) is programmer and digital artist. His first touch to digital content was with Commodore 64 and Amiga 500. He practiced early steps of programming multimedia and real-time application with these platforms and also touched first edges of digital art belongs to that era. Then he began his carrier with programming and digital art in 1998, by using Windows 98. Cliff was an Unreal Tournament pro gamer and was involved with WCG international tournaments as team organizer back in 2004. Then after publishing his first book “Unreal Engine Physics Essentials”, he switched his main carrier on develop application with Unreal Engine. He was involved in develop, manage and design industry standard applications of Virtual Reality, Architectural Visualizations, Real-time midi-controlled visuals, and recently Virtual Production by using Unreal Engine with Blueprint and C++. He certified as “Unreal Authorized Instructor – UAI” by Epic Games in 2020 and after that his main focus went for teaching game programming and design with Unreal Engine to students around the world.
