My Work
Boids Schools of Fish
We wanted to add schools of fish that swam around to make the world feel filled and alive. To achieve this I wrote a movement script for fish based on Craig Reynold's Boids algorithm.
We ran into performance issues due to these calculations happening on the CPU for thousands of fish, so I rewrote it in a Compute Shader to move computation to the GPU.
Black Light Effect
For one of our puzzles we wanted hidden symbols, and I created a black light effect shader for that. With ShaderLab code, I used signed distance fields to represent the cone of the light, and did an overlap check to the world position of the hidden symbol object to determine when to show the material.
