Project Hike - 3D Assets, Shaders, UI Art
I collaborated with 15 other skilled artists, programmers, designers and animators as part of WolverineSoft Studio's summer cycle. I was responsible for several 3D environment assets, all UI assets, implementation of models as well as all shaders via ShaderGraph. I prepared systems and wrote documentation for level designers, and also co-wrote an Art Design Document. As the main tech artist, I was largely responsible for putting everything together visually!

Item collect UI and animation - Implemented by Flynn Lyon and Nick Cerrone
Customizable gradient w/ vertex colors - This system was achieved through painting vertex colors on a 3D circle mesh, and creating a shader to recolor each RGB channel.
Automatic triplanar snow and stone shader
Pause menu UI - implemented by Nick Cerrone
Settings menu UI - implemented by Flynn Lyon
Dialogue UI design
Fishies! - Original model by Pat White. I baked his vertex colors into a texture map, rigged and animated it, then made some color variations.
Penguin plushie - This is based off of a real plush I made as a kid!
Treasure chests - I also rigged and animated these
These construction assets were created to serve as placeholders for future gameplay areas and quests!
Made some alien looking coral to populate the underwater areas.
