Projects
There's nothing here currently! One day, there will be.
Graphics
StyleShade
Python, GLSL • Spring 2026A Maya plugin based on the paper Shading Rig: Dynamic Art-directable Stylised Shading for 3D Characters, creating custome shadow edits to refine toon shading. This tool was made in collaboration with Julie Swei. I implemented the following components:
- Shading Parameters (movement; gravity & collision; camera control)
- Interpolation, with transparent textures (water; lava)
Done as part of CIS 6600: Advanced Topics in Computer Graphics at University of Pennsylvania in Spring, 2026.
Mini Minecraft
C++, OpenGL • April 2024A simple interactive 3D world mimicking the game Minecraft (Mojang Studios, 2011), made in collaboration with others. I implemented the following components:
- Player Physics (movement; gravity & collision; camera control)
- Texturing and Texture Animation, with transparent textures (water; lava)
- Wave Animation with Blinn-Phong highlights
- Assisted with assets for procedurally placed assets.
Done as part of CIS 5600: Interactive Computer Graphics at University of Pennsylvania in Spring, 2024.
