Implemented a shield shader (with particle system) to be used by the enemies once another team member has them in a more functional state. Really like the glitchy effect I got on the sphere but I’ll probably go back to the particle texture. Fairly obvious I’m not an artist with those textures.

The final year project I completed with a small team is now available on itch.io. it is free to download and requires and HTC Vive to play. I think it looks pretty nice considering we got very little from our external artist (we had to make most of the models).

Had too many issues with using the Lab Renderer’s SeeThru shader so I had to change the level select menu. I did love the effect that the SeeThru shader had but it overlayed anything so it became impossible to use the menu. Actually prefer this one now, looks really nice in VR.

Implemented a suction explosion which I plan to use as the bullet for the revolver weapon type (sounds strange, I know). On a side note, I’m really liking the corridor models one of my team members finished off!

Old video but demonstrates the two handed interactions I implemented as an extension to the interactables supplied by NewtonVR. Don’t have access to an HTC Vive very often so had to make this with gameobjects that emulate the interactions of the controllers.

Updated my dissolve shader for the lab renderer so that it uses a grab pass. Before I just had it use the albedo while blending so it was very noticeable when it was swapping from the dissolve shader to the valve shader.

Finally got round to fixing the pathing for the AI within the dungeon. Some weird issue with the waypoints was stopping them from being able to find a path through the map. They definitely need to be slowed down but that is up to another team member to tweak to see what they think is right as the ‘AI’ is their portion of the project. I was only helping them with the pathfinding.

Also got two handed interaction working with NewtonVR but haven’t had access to a vive for long enough to get footage of it working.
