Intro

I worked a horror game with fellow USC students as a first-time technical artist. The game is available for free on Steam right now! Below are some of my favorite effects I have made as a newbie in graphics programmer and VFX artist:D

Implementation

Magic Looking Glass

Screen FX

Flashlight

An auto adjusting flashlight based on the screen’s luminance.

Candles

Cloth physics and shader

Exorcism VFX

Footstep FX

Performance and optimization

• Reduce overdraw from smoke VFX.
• Decrease flashlight’s auto adjust mechanism from 20ms to sub 0.1ms.
• Set up occlusion culling.
