Blog II Intro Welcome to the second addition of my blog series where I’ll be covering the development of VisTag. Since my last post I’ve developed a working prototype. If your interested in the concept, check out my first blog post explaining it! You can find updates to the project on my GitHub Working Prototype […]
Intro This is a tool for UE 5.5 that allows you to generate stacks of physics enabled objects. It was constructed using the PCG framework. This project was originally created for a tech art test over the course of three days *Tool Documentation Will Follow Below* Contents PCG The tool consists of two PCG Blueprints […]
Blog Intro Welcome to this new blog series where I’ll be covering the development of VisTag. Now what that is and how it will work will be explained below. I’ll be posting development update as they come up. You can find updates to the project on my GitHub Stated Goal The goal of VisTag is […]
This blog post will break down Optimization section of the Procedural Monadnock project. You will be able to learn how to generate a forest containing hundreds of thousands of trees while maintaining performance. I’ll also talk about the process and some problems I encountered throughout this section of the project. Link to Portfolio Post below. I […]
This blog post will break down the Shaders section of the Procedural Monadnock project. You will be able to see how shaders are able to harness data from the PCG Graph as well as a handful of handy material functions used throughout the project. I’ll also talk about the process and some problems I encountered […]
This blog post will break down the Houdini section of the Procedural Monadnock project. You will be able to see the Pathfinding tools used to carve out the trails and the system used to create ID maps. Link to Portfolio Post here: Trail Pathfinding For this project, I revisited a smaller endeavor from earlier this year, […]
This blog post will break down the Unreal PCG section of the Procedural Monadnock project. You will be able to see the construction of the PCG system used to populate the landscape. I’ll also talk about the process and some problems I encountered throughout this section of the project. Link to Portfolio Post here: Data Asset […]
Stated Goal The goal was to create a procedural framework that efficiently populates landscapes with assets based on terrain characteristics, allowing for easy customization and fast iteration. Description This project has three primary parts to it, each of which have their own dedicated breakdowns: 1.) Two PCG systems that populates a landscape based on a […]
Description Stated Goal My goal is to create a procedural framework that efficiently populates landscapes with assets based on terrain characteristics, allowing for easy customization and fast iteration. This framework will seamlessly integrate features from both Houdini and Unreal, while maintaining a high level of realism. Background Through a conversation with a mentor over the […]
Background The OpenGL Particle System was created as a final project for my Intermediate Graphics Programming course. It was developed by Yuuki Endo, Issac Lovy and myself over the course of two weeks. I was primarily responsible for implementing the skybox and translation of visual scripting to GLSL. Work on the primary shader files was […]
