Project DesCription
Winner of the CNE Gaming Garage Student Showcase, Marco Polo was made by a group 6 students in only 2 days! A small game about TWO dots...EXPLORING new places and FINDING each other. Marco Polo showcases not only my improved efficiency with shaders programming and VFX creation, but also my collaborative skills and ability to work effectively with a team.

Simple SCreenSpace Shader
Created a simple screen space mask shader to reveal a texture underneath the background. It has a similar effect of punching a hole through the objects directly behind it in view space.
We used it to create spotlights revealing a maze!
