A 3D roguelike with fast paced, risky combat where the central mechanic is the ability to possess other enemies.

My main role on the project is technical artist, I am responsible for VFX, optimization, and shader development. Here are just a few of my contributions.

Particle Effects

Nearly all particle systems within the game where designed and implemented by me, this was all done using unity's built in particle systems, and VFX graph. Custom textures and models neccessary for these effects where made by me with either photoshop or blender respectively.

Material & Shader Production

The main material used throughout the project is a custom toon shader I developed. It is an asset that has gone over many months of testing and redesigns to incorporate new features as the project expanded. It was developed with unity's built in shadergraph and some custom shader functions i wrote to gather light data.

Procedural Generation

One of my greatest contributions to the project was the procedural level generation. The development of this feature included the base algorithm, as well as tools for level designers to create level specific flowmaps for run time generation.

More Info

A group submission for the 2019 Wild Magic Game Jam at Rochester Institute of Technology, Hang Time is a third person maze solver where the main mechanic was the ability to alternate between realities. I was responsible for the visual effects of the project, and interactions using Unreal's blueprint system.

The effect for alternating between realities is a post processing effect I designed using Unreal's material system.

A sci-fi setting I created to practice optimization techniques on a project I made as performance intensive as I possibly could. The main techniques I employed were HLOD clusters and scene loading.

All assets where sourced from the Epic marketplace.

This visualizer was developed using only JavaScript and canvas element to analyze audio from any given song, and use the data from wavelengths or frequency to plot points across either a sphere. The sphere itself is a 3D projection using the z-coordinate of a point to alter the diameter of a given point and there by presenting the illusion of depth.

A similar process is applied to the center ring where the points are used to connect a series of bezier curves. The initial positions are set along the equater of the sphere, with the height of each point being based on the incoming audio data. From there a projection is mapped for each set of points to determine how the influence for each curve should be altered.

Here are a few pieces I created within blender as small side projects to expand my skills with modeling, animation, and composition.

Animated Loops

All objects in these scenes where modeled by me, as well as the procedural textures they all employ.
