Heightmap Blending

This tutorial is about blending textures in an accurate way based on their heightmap.

Realistic Material Wetness

Volumetric Lighting

Volumetric light effects are caused by light being scattered in a humid or dusty environment. It's a beautiful looking natural phenomenon also known as 'god rays'. To challenge myself, I tried implementing this effect in real-time in the Unity game engine.

Subsurface Scattering

Almost every material in the real world is slightly translucent, this means that light enters the material and is scattered around and then exits the surface. I have updated the Unity’s standard shader based on Dice’s implementation which presents a fast and scalable approximation of translucency for a convincing subsurface scattering look.

Natural object placement with Poisson Disk Sampling

While looking for a way to place objects in a scene in a natural, evenly distributed way I discovered Poisson Disk Sampling..

Real life virtual buttons using Azure Kinect.

While playing around with depth cameras, I wanted to see if it was possible to create buttons with no physical shape.

Water shader for EXR

For the exercise game EXR, I had to create a new water shader that feels realistic but also fits the cartoony style of the game. My work consisted of adding several features and improve the general performance of the water shader itself.

Be-Ready

The National Crisis Center has prepared a fascinating interactive three-part curriculum for primary school students. The package is supplemented with the exciting online game BE-Ready, which prepares the students in a playful way for every emergency situation.
