Advanced water rendering

In 2017 I was asked to make a dirt water shader. I put together all the ideas that came to my mind in order to make it realistic. The list of features are:

– Underwater pixels blurred according to depth
– Moss creating volumetric shadows
– Surface lighting using Subsurface scattering
– Optical dispersion (aka chromatic aberration) depending on depth
– Underwater volumetric shadows (used Fog Volume 3 for that)
– Consistency of every effect at variable resolutions, distances and FOV values.
– Surface normals animation using the flow map technique
– Moss patches with variable height. Some percentage of them are on the surface and the other under surface

Mars Atmosphere

I was asked at Estudio Future to make this scene showing Mars. It was the perfect opportunity to make something serious here.

Subsurface Scattering for Unity

Cloth Shader for Unity

Cloth shading is a topic I have revisited over time. In January 2015 I have decided to release it to the Unity community as a Shader Forge graph at the asset store. I would be happy to see it used in your games. As you may see in the screens and video, you will be able to emulate key lighting behaviours of a wide range of fabric surfaces, from rough fabric such as towel or carpet, to silk or velvet.

Unite 2014

In 2014 I made two demos for Unity Technologies, both shown at Unite 2014. First one was a car rendering project, for which I have developed a layered shader to model car paint features. It consists of a metallic base, lacquer layer and one more layer on top for dirtiness.

I made this environment and material switcher app to test the shader under many different lighting situations.

Then I was asked to polish my skin rendering system for ADN. This project was also supported by Unity. I spent one month working on it at home. Once it was ready to rock, I went to Paris to meet ADN guys and get the demo done. It was an unforgettable and pleasant experience.

Dave

After some years using Lee’s scan, I had the feeling that it was time to switch to another model. It wasn’t easy to find a good one so I decided to start zBrush and see what happened. I’d never tried to model a face before so it was a long process. And finally, Dave was born.
