Richard Olsson

Richard Olsson is a Swedish freelance Flash developer based in the city of Malmö and has been a member of the core Away3D development team since the end of 2008. He found his interest in programming at the early age of 12, writing BASIC on an old Commodore 64 that was passed on to him from a relative who wanted something more modern. After a short detour to 3D graphics, thinking he wanted to be a 3D modeler, he went back to programming, exploring C/C++ and OpenGL before ending up working with the Flash platform.

Richard is commissioned by several advertising and in-house agencies across Europe to assist with Flash 3D application development and has worked with some of the world’s largest brands. He is also a frequent Flash instructor and occasional contributor to the Blender open source 3D suite.
