The Fields - LD29. Smoke and Fire Flipbooks. In college, I worked on a collaborative project with Microsoft to explore new uses for the Kinect. On that project I was lead animator and storyboard artist. We produced a series of connected gameplay vignettes to demonstrate some possible applications for Kinect in a hypothetical team-based shooter. I also regularly use storyboarding as a way of exploring or communicating game design ideas.

The Fields - LD29. Smoke and Fire Flipbooks. This is a collection of some of my latest work in VFX and technical art. I wrote a Simple Physical Shader for use with Unity Free. This shader is meant to work in a non-linear, non-hdr lighting environment like the one found in the free version of unity. It uses a Main Color Metallicity model for shading and uses RSRMs for environment lighting. I make special effects using the Unity Shuriken Particle System. Smoke and Fire Flipbook Experiements.
