Custom Shaders
I composed custom Shaders that augment and promote user comprehension.
This Multi-Pass Shader allows for the rendering of cut lines on the sharks skin. Cut lines appear dimmer if they are not directly visible to the player.
User Interaction
Before joining the project, previous dissections used simple trigger volumes to perform incisions.
​
In my efforts to advance the user experience, I provided a technique for changing to a convincing method for user performed incisions. This method reveals the incisions by dynamically editing a texture mask in real time. Pre-Calculated texture indices ensure fast performance.

Editor Tools
The Event Sequencer became essential for designers, granting flexible alignment of game events and hologram instruction. By selectively recording player actions, seamless rewinding becomes possible.
​
Pipeline development often requires swift construction of Editor Tools to overcome unseen obstacles. I created many tools for the team. These include but not limited to a tool for merging Skinned Mesh Renderers and a Tool for painting masks on textures within Unity.
