    Project Experience

    Final year thesis

    For my thesis, I explored the feasibility of simulating realistic in-game hair. Leveraging Hook's Law and Compute shaders in conjunction with a mass aggregate particle system, I successfully crafted lifelike virtual hair. Although initially achieving 60FPS with over 1.9 million particles (approximately 150,000 strands) on an Nvidia 1070, the strain on the GPU resulted in visible issues with too many strands. Through optimization, I successfully produced realistic hair using only 10,000 strands.

    Physics Demo

    This project showcases collision interactions with planes and cubes, featuring diverse force generators like Gravity, laminar, and turbulent forces. The particle system incorporates an object pool, notably demonstrated through explosive particles. Additionally, observe the dynamic rotation of the large cube, influenced by torque and inertia.

    Terrain Generation and Skeletal animation

    Utilizing the MD5 Model format, I imported a skinned character with a predefined animation. The scene comprises three prominent objects. The first, on the far right, showcases terrain generation through a height map. The cube to the right employs Instancing, voxels, and the simplex noise algorithm with octaves, comprising approximately 250,000 cubes. Lastly, the object on the far left is a result of the diamond-square algorithm.

    Ray-tracing image into video

    In this project, I designed a smart thread task system that efficiently handled tasks across multiple threads. Threads dynamically shared tasks to boost overall efficiency. The application utilizes ray tracing on spheres, capturing data for later video creation. Additionally, I developed a user-friendly offline editor in C# to define light sources, sphere positions, amount of rays etc. This would be saved to a Json to later be given to the application.

    Graphical Demo​

    This project showcases diverse graphical techniques, encompassing Deferred Rendering, Bump and Parallax mapping, elegantly demonstrated on a textured cube. Additionally, it features a Dissolve Shader implementation, aimed at replicating the visual effect of a burning paper through use of a height map to identify and progressively eliminate darker regions.
