Cloud Heist
3D Space Shooter.
The first game project done in the second year at the game assembly.
Contributions
Most back-end rendering systems, some highlights:
-
Instanced Rendering
Data for each instance stored in a const buffer in which an array
is indexed with the instance id.
-
Multi-pass Post-processing
A post-process pass can use up to eight resource passes where heavier work such as blurring can be done at a lower resolution. These resource passes can then be read from in a final fullscreen pass.
The system allows for layering of effects by providing the output of the previous post-process pass to the current one.
It can be seen in the game in the form of radial blur, god rays and bloom.
-
Particle System
CPU-based system with particles stored in vertices of which are "converted" to quads in a geometry shader.
