Animation and VFX Scripts

Designed scripts to manage variable sprite behaviors and animations, enabling smooth transitions and responsive visual feedback. Implemented dynamic systems for character state-based animations and adaptive sprite management to enhance visual polish.

Technical Art Overview

Houdini Variable Homes

Using a variety of Houdini nodes, I can instantly generate over 1,000 building variations.

The scene above is made in Unity HDRP. All assets are custom-made except for the skybox. The central tree animation was created in Houdini, and the scene combines various VFX, shaders, and particle effects into a cohesive presentation.

Custom Sample Scene

Created a dynamic vortex effect in Unity using shaders and particle systems. The effect features smooth swirling motion, customizable colors, and interactive elements, making it versatile for various gameplay scenarios or environmental storytelling.
