How do you avoid silent data corruption when passing structs from C# to HLSL? Learn the exact alignment rules of std140/std430 and optimize your CPU-GPU data pipeline.

How I built a layer-based procedural explosion tool in Houdini — from velocity setup and Pyro simulation to VAT export and Six Point Lighting in Unity. A breakdown of the system architecture and the thinking behind it.

A technical case study describing a USD-based pipeline for interior design, focused on parallel workflows, scene structure, asset reuse, and cross-DCC collaboration.

Solo Game Dev Vlog In this vlog I walk through the progress I’ve made on the modular Enemy System (attack and spawn) and the first phase of Player & Camera Integration . The enemy system now has a solid foundation: data stored in ScriptableObjects, health and attack modules, movement patterns like chasers and ranged units, and loot drops tied directly into death events. I also built a spawning system that uses NavMesh sampling to keep things flexible and reliable. On the pla

A practical Unity ShaderLab cheatsheet for technical artists, covering render states, tags, blending, depth testing, and CG/HLSL structure across Built-in, URP, and HDRP pipelines.

A unified technical art CG shaders guide explaining real-time rendering, shader stages, and engine pipelines for technical artists.

Low-poly dumpster 3D model with UV-mapped textures and FBX export for real-time pipelines.

Procedural environment creation in Houdini chapter 1 focusing on asset optimization, modular scene construction, and production-ready workflows.

In this short video, I present a quick overview of the "Camp Fire" FX creation process using Vertex Animation techniques. I used Houdini 20.5 with Sparse Fire Simulation and upres techniques for Unreal Engine 5.4 with Lumen and Unity URP/HDRP 2022.3.4. Watch as I showcase key steps, including geometry preparation, loop animation, shader creation, and particle system building for sparks, hot air convection, and burnout sticks. Like this post?
