Projects

Ocean Simulator

Uses compute shaders to calculate the inverse Fourier transform on a generated frequency spectrum to create wave movement in real time
Shading features include subsurface scattering, specular and environment reflections, and foam accumulation
Parameters such as wind speed, depth, and fetch can be adjusted for different visual effects

C++

OpenGL

Graphics

Compute Shaders

Generates fur on any textured model imported as an FBX file (including animated models)

Stencil texture used to spawn fur only on select areas allowing for artistic freedom
Stiffness, density, minimum and maximum length, and shadows added from individual hairs can all be adjusted

C++

DirectX 12

Graphics

Skinned & Rigged Models

Allows users to add songs to a common queue for group listening, similar to Spotify's Jam feature
Can connect up to 5 devices and send any song in the Apple Music library via Web Bluetooth to supported browsers
Created 2 years before Apple's official implementation
