TAO - Vertex Animation

Mon, 04 Jan 2021 16:06:00 +0000

The vertex animation package is a solution with the goal of having thousands of units on screen at the same time, each one controlled by its own animation state.

Project Details

I worked on this project while I was part of the Tech Art Outsource team. This tool was build for project Castle, it’s a game where thousands of units are on the screen at the same time. To render all of these on screen they needed an effective solution. This project was already using Unity DOTS, so this was the perfect opportunity to get started with this and utilize the “performance by default” technology.

TAO - Landscape Material

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 00:15:00 +0000

An interactive landscape material/shader for Unreal Engine 4.

Project Details

The shader was initially developed during the prototype phase for the game Til Nord. They needed a shader where the vehicle and other objects interact with the snow on the terrain. During development the shader got build into an generic landscape shader that could be used for all kinds of terrain types. This resulted in project Arid using it as well.

TAO - Texture Combiner

Sun, 01 Nov 2020 23:05:00 +0000

A tool to quickly combine multiple textures into one. It is available for WebGL and Windows.

This tool was made during development of the landscape shader. This shader used packed textures to reduce the amount of samples needed. In order to allow the end-users to quickly create their own packed textures I created this tool. Now anyone on the team can use the tool without having other photo manipulation software installed on their machine.

MA_Parallaxing

A tool to setup parallaxing and culling for sprites in Unity.

MA_TextureAtlas

Fri, 27 Apr 2018 21:24:57 +0000

Texture atlas creator tool for Unity.
This tool is made to combine textures and/or remap the UV’s for 3D models. The tool can also be used to make 2D sprite sheets. The visual editor gives you the ability to set and prioritize the sizes and positions in the texture atlas/sprite sheet.

Project Details

By having full control over the size and position of the textures that are being placed in the atlas you will never stand for surprises when exporting. This will cost some more time than auto-generating your texture atlases but you know whats going on and which models/textures are getting priority.

Unity HoloLens UI Shader

Mon, 02 Oct 2017 22:47:36 +0000

When building for the Microsoft HoloLens there are a lot of new opportunities, challenges and designs when it comes to building a User Interface. But at the moment the field of view is quite limited and you (or at least I) don’t want to ‘cut off’ to many visuals on my screen. By cutting of visuals the view looks even smaller as you can see the ‘borders’ of the screen, this creates a narrow feeling. To reduce this I have looked at what Microsoft did for their UI designs.

Unity Unlit Terrain Shader

Wed, 23 Aug 2017 20:55:40 +0000

A basic unlit terrain shader for unity, it can handle up to 4 different textures.

The shader is made with Shader Sandwich. And here are some screenshots from a Unity terrain with the unlit shader.

4K Textures
PNG

Albedo, Specular, Occlusion and Normal maps

Additional shader for the stones to make them ‘pop’ a bit more. Made with Shader Sandwich!
(ofcourse you can use them without the shader!)

Basic Unity Multiplayer Base Building System

Mon, 04 Jan 2016 12:44:58 +0000

This is a basic unity base building system, I made it to practice with (the new) Unity Unet networking.

It generates a UI with some options to build. Also you can’t build where somebody else is building and the buildings are synced to the host so when somebody joins later they will be in the same world.
