WebGL Orrery
Drag in frame to move orrery!
Description
Understands the architecture of the graphics pipeline and the key stages in it, including the vertex processor, clipper and primitive assembler, rasterizer, and fragment processor.
Above is an interactive 3D WebGL program with geometric modeling, lighting and shading, and texture mapping made using shader-based GLSL techiniques.
AI Board Game
Note: cannot load on static website
This is a breadth first search engine using alpha-beta pruning and several custom heuristics and simulated annealing for an abstract board game similar to Chess called Tak. The search algorithm is implemented in Python with the graphics in Three.js.
Above is a visualization of simulated aneealing performed for weightings of three implemented heuristics for the search algorithm.
Above is the Python backend view of board, for more information, links provided below.

Visual Effects
Learned various 3D and simulation skills in Maya, Substance Painter, and Blender. Started off with basic modeling, texturing, and materials, but over time, learned more advance techiniques like substance painting, rigging, keyframing, forward and inverse kinematics, and also scripting custom tools.
Realistic 3D modeling and material rendering. Learned about how to make light interact with custom materials, like subsurface scattering, and reflection to make high-definition lighting.
Light-hearted animation sound effects and music. Learned about rigging human models, weight painting, and correcting motion capture animations.
Also created animations with physics-based simulations using fields and solvers.
