ABOUT

Graduate Master in IT, Games Technology with experience in programming in large and small teams of varying disciplines. Organized and analytical with a desire to improve technological as well as interpersonal skills.

In my master thesis, we developed a creative AI tool for creature generation to assist in a game designer’s creative process.

THE USER TEST PRIZES

We tested our thesis with two user tests each time we had prized the users could win. They consisted of bespoke creatures, where the images were generated from Stable diffusion, and we would embroider or crochet them. I would crochet the creatures.

THE PROCESS

THE RAIN

First, I developed the rain box which follows the camera. At the same time I implemented the rain occlusion, to have the rain not fall through the roof of the house. I created a depth map of the scene from the rain’s direction and test if the particles depth was larger than the depth map, and set the alpha to zero in order to make the particle transparent.

The box has been up scaled from a 1x1x1 cm cube to surround the camera. This had been done so I could work in a space from 0 to 1.

The box contains a fixed number of raindrops. When the rain falls out of the box they get reset starting to fall from the top again.

WET SURFACES

Next, I implemented the wet surfaces. Left is before I implemented the wet surfaces and right is after the implementation was done.

How wet a surface becomes also depends on the type of material. Rough materials tend to have a darker albedeo and higher specular when when wet than metals. To simulate that I used the materials roughness and metal textures.

The roughness texture is then used in the Trowbridge-Reitz GGX distribution and Schlick-GGX. The metal texture is used to mix between the dry and wet albedeo in order not to make the car more dark
since it is made of metal.

THE PROCESS

2 WEEKS IN 

In start of the process of creating The Mender we settled on the world, the core all game play, themes and style we were to aim for. These are some of the slides we presented for the class after the first couple of weeks of working on the project.

Self-made crochet Mender

One of my hobbies is crocheting. I created my own pattern for the main character of the game and made key chains for all the group members
