One of the main things you do in Mind Over Magic is build your school. I prototyped the look and built out all of the FX and shader for our construction fx. Higher res videos below!

What's a magic school without magical stations to learn and cast magic at! Here are some VFX/Shaders I worked on for our teaching stations. Everything here was animated via shader.

More Shaders! Nothing crazy with this one, but it turned out cool. It uses the character bounds to mask the bottom, and a couple of screen space textures on top. We recently added the option to customize the color of their ghost. Here is our ghost shader:

Here is the same shader with our Greenhouse Material, but toggled to only use 3 horizontal slices:

Showing off some of the shader work I did on Mind Over Magic. Here is a 9 slice shader I built for our game using world coordinates. The basic idea was taking the world coordinates of each wall and constructing UVs based on them. I then used those UVs and remapped them coordinates on a texture.

Happy #PortfolioDay Everyone!
I am still putting together all of my work from the latest project I have been working on Mind Over Magic, but I still wanted to share some of the FX work I have been doing on the project.
Here is our Dark Ultimate Spell

Calling this one done for now! Definitely think I am going to continue refining my toon shader for my next project. High res videos and images here www.artstation.com/artwork/QKRRG3
Hope you all enjoy!

Got this guy all rigged up and added some dynamics to it in Unity. Still going to add some bones to give some control over some of the cloth areas like the pants and sleeves.

Made the staff and a hacky little fur shader. Also updated the shader so I can set the shadow color based on a texture in order to get closer to the look of the concept.

This was the unfinished project from mentioned in my last post. Really want to come back and finish this at somepoint. Orignal concept by Wouter Gort for A Long Journey to an Uncertain End.
