Shaders in Unity
Independent Study in Entertainment Technology Center, 2015
-Duration: 1 week for each shader
-Team Scale: independent project
-Platform/Tool: wrote in ShaderLab + CG in Unity
-Description:
These are what I made while learning shader and trying to implement some shader in this PDF Unity presented in SIGGRAPH 2011.
Three shaders are showing here.
1. A material shader that works as a enemy indicator or item highlighting indicator.
2. Camera effect shader. Tint pixel according depth buffer information.
3. A force field effect shader. Intersection highlight + texture + distortion.

3. A force field effect shader. Intersection highlight + texture + distortion.
Enemy IndicatorThis material shader is applied on game objects working as a enemy indicator or item highlighting indicator. It shows the object with outer glow effect or shield effect, which can be seen even when there are obstacles blocking them.

Depth EffectAfter camera rendered everything, I rendered the screen the second time and used the depth buffer values to decide what color is going to tint where. With proper scripting, it show the feeling like the world is being shifted from far plane to near plane.
|
Force Field- Create soft factor base on information stored in depth buffer (in Shader Forge).
- Add texture on it. Change texture offset according to time. - Add glancing factor on it (dot product of view direction and normal). - Use "Grab Pass" to create distortion. |
Fish Bowl An Animation Short
Carnegie Mellon University, 2016
-Duration: 10 weeks
-Team Scale: 5 people
-Platform/Tool: Maya
-Role: Technical Artist, 3D Artist
-Description:
Fish Bowl is an animation short made in a CMU IDEATE course - Animation Art and Technology. I was in charge of technical elements in the ink scene (Maya Fluid system + animated vector field)and mirror fraction/ripple to portal (nCloth).

The Drop A FPS Rythm Game
Entertainment Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, 2015
-Duration: 15 weeks
-Team Scale: 5 people
-Platform/Tool: Unity, Maya
-Role: Technical Artist, 3D Artist
-Description:
Project The Drop is an experimental game combining elements of rhythm games with first person shooters. The game is a duel between two players, each armed with a piece of music, who battle each other over control of the sound system very much like a musical tug-of-war. My worked on all the 3D model, including rigging and animating and scripted animation in Maya and Unity.

Customized ShaderOur artist make this nice speaker model in Cinema4D. However, Unity doesn't support this material, so I wrote a customized shader to achieve the art style.

Sci-Fi Level Design
Course Project in Entertainment Technology Center, 2015
-Duration: 5 weeks
-Team Scale: independent project
-Platform/Tool: Unity, Maya
-Role: Technical Artist, 3D Artist
-Description:
This is a course project where we are allowed to get familiar with all the Unity build-in tools by building a Sci-Fi level.
We were given the basic art models for this level, and starts to make improvement for it. I iterated on this level by changing materials and adding lighting/camera filter/particle system and simple mechanic by scripting in C#.

Inksmith An Interactive Children's Book
Entertainment Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, 2015
-Duration: 15 weeks
-Team Scale: 5 people
-Platform/Tool: Unity, Maya, Photoshop
-Role: Technical Artist, Artist
-Description:
Project Inksmith is working to translate children's storybooks from paper to touch screen. We work with Pixure Book Publishing to investigate the best way to fully utilize the interactive medium. We did rapid prototype for 3 different manuscript in one semester, and implemented 3 different innovative ways to achieve seamless transitions.
The Youtube video is showing one of the tools I wrote for Adobe Illustrator to batch export vector artwork to PNG files with proper size assigned by users.
This section of website is still under construction.
