First I would like to thank my family for all the support and guidance. Not less important are all my students, friends, readers, and colleagues for continuous questions, feedback, suggestions, and basically, shaping my career. Special thanks to friends and experts Décio Ferreira and Pedro Aroso for development ideas and 3D models. And I would also like to express my gratitude to the entire team at Packt Publishing for this opportunity and collaboration.
