Shaders and Tools

Tools, tests and technicalities.

Many of the images here can be clicked for a GIF of the described effect

 

Quick Colliders

One-click creation of primitive colliders. Select what needs a collider and select type. The scripts come with multiple ways of determining orientation of the collider.

 

Maya version

The newer, more compact version. Uses DDConvexHull plugin for generating the convex colliders and comes with capsule collider support.

3ds max version

This is an older version, with an implementation of convex collider generation done by myself in Maxscript. Needless to say, even though it is using the Quick Hull algorithm, it is very slow.

Shader for Bachelor project Feels

For our game project “Feels”, the director wanted a look that was graphic but moody.
I therefore made a shader that uses vertex colors, ignores light direction and has built-in fog (for mobile performance).

 

locallight_thumb
Light only affects surfaces based on distance, so point-lights can be used for focus and creates a nice graphical feel
foglight_thumb
The effect of local light also affects how easily a surface can be seen through the fog, allowing the focuspoints to be seen from a distance
shadow2_thumb
Shadowmaps were utilized to allow dynamic shadows from moving light. Unrealistic, but graphically effective

 

Feels shockwave

Shockwave effect based on a smoothed sampling of the microphone input.
Serves as feedback for a gameplay mechanism.
