Unity3D Game Engine

OctaviCopter - Hear I Am

Capstone Project - Fall 2022

A multi-sensory VR ear training application which will take you on a journey of sight, sound and touch - leading you to a destination where you can confidently recognize tones.

Kart Spezial

Special Assignment - Summer 2022

Collisions and triggers combined with customized unlit shaders for the rainbow track.
Go ahead and give it a try!
Be careful, though - it's difficult!
(And don't forget your sunglasses!)

Dynamic Composition

Just for Fun - Summer 2022

Combining Bolt and VFX-Graphs to create this dynamic composition. Based on the frequency bands, I’m arranging the radius, intensity and gravity in response to real-time music.

Shader Library Core

Freya Holmer - Spring 2021

HLSL.

Particle Effects

Unity Asset - Fall 2022

Out of the box, ready to shoot! Customized selection, UI, and audio only.

Shader Library URP

BootCamp - Summer 2022

VFX Graphs.

ChickenJokes & TextureTechno

Midterm Project - Summer 2022

Implementing API WebRequest to generate Chuck Norris Jokes, creating 3D Assets and refactoring the Code Base of a given Tower Defense Template.

Harmonic Motion

Homework - Spring 2022

The 2 spheres are using the same script (one to the left, one to the right) based on harmonic oscillation to create a pendulum-like pattern.
The camera's movement is controlled using Unity's Animation Controller.

Musical Runes

Bootcamp - Spring 2022

A fully functional memory game called which requires custom behaviors,
power-ups, and data persistence - important concepts about programming for Unity using C#.

Plinko

Homework - Summer 2022

Collision and triggers with Plinko. After assigning value to the pins to compute the score of the round - all that's missing is some post-processing bloom to let it shine.

Snow Shader

Just for Fun - Winter 2021

For the snow flakes I used Unity's Partical System, for the snow tracks I used HLSL. This can be used for footprints on the sand, too, for example. (Leaned on PeerPlay)

Fail Art

In Between - Spring 2022

The moment your teacher turns
your question into art -
you got the key?!

In Between Dot, Unity's Player Prefs and serializing data to JSON.

Shader Click

Freestyle - Summer 2022

Because we are not accessing a 3D Object, a C# script is needed which returns a ray going from the camera through a screen point to get this wobble activated.

Magic Flower

Freestyle - Summer 2022

A simple flower, created in Blender for Unity with standard settings inside the VFX-Graph - almost out of the box.
Beautiful!

Fairy Tale - VFX-Graph

During Class - Spring 2022

Exploring and playing around with the Unity VFX-Shader-Graph.
It was a wonderful Saturday lab with a slight sense of fairy tale magic.

Jump Force

Unity Path - Spring 2022

Setting up a basic gameplay, choosing a beautiful background and character to control. You can jump with a tap on the spacebar as barrels spawn at the edge of the screen to block the path.
And I would walk 500 miles…

Jump Lab

Unity Path - Spring 2022

This Unity micro game template is a classic 2D Platform game. Modifying and tweaking the project to make it your own is a good way to learn the basics of the unity engine.

Bouncer Ball

Unity Path- Spring 2022

The camera is rotating around the focal point in the center of the island, provided a horizontal input of the player. Power ups and enemies for game play, moving forwards and backwards with aforementioned focal point.

Cube Explosion

Homework - Spring 2022

Instructions:
To practice with sequential tasks over some time, create a cube that explodes into debris (smaller cubes) after being clicked. Animate the cube exploding and debris deteriorating as they move. Don't use Unity's animation, animator, particle system or physics features.

Move Cube

Homework - Spring 2022

Instructions:
Make the cube move back and forth between multiple points, moving at a different velocity on each segment.The position of the GameObject and its velocity on each segment must be configurable in the inspector.

Advanced Physics

Homework - Summer 2022

Instructions:          
To practice physics queries usage, create a scene with a wood plank and some objects on top of it. When a hammer hits the plank, make all objects on top of it shake. Get the objects using a Physics method. Do not cache which objects are in contact with the plank (using OnCollisionEnter/Exit)

First Person Control

Homework - Summer 2022

Instructions:
To practice with input handling, create a First-Person Shooter (FPS) controller that allows the player to: move around with the WASD keys (configurable) and look around with the mouse.

Simple Car Control

Unity Path - Spring 2022

Call basic functions, then declare and tweak new variables to modify the results of those functions.
This exercise is about programming a car moving side-to-side in C# for Unity. On a floating road, you are trying to avoid or hit obstacles in the middle of the road to finally fall through endless space until replay.

Simple Plane Control

Unity Path - Spring 2022

A little variation of the simple car control with the following changes: the plane moves forward at a constant rate, the up/down arrows tilt the
nose of the plane, and the camera follows alongside to keep the plane in few.

HLSL - Aquarel

Freestyle - Spring 2022

Inspired by the master of colors, you can see a collection of classic Aquarels, transformed into #TechModernArt - using a customized unlit shader to create this gradient. This is super simple, yet, another moment full of beauty and fascination while following Freya Holmer.

HLSL - Aquarel

Freestyle - Spring 2022

Playing around for a while and trying different colors, it's still hard to say, which one is my favorite.

HLSL - Aquarel

Freestyle - Spring 2022

This one, I did not like at all in the beginning but on my way to change the parameters, I kept looking instead of typing. It is more mystic than the others, isn't it?

Der Moderne Reiter

Die Moderne Reihe - Summer 2021

Back in late 2020, I took a look in the book 'Drawing on the right side of the brain' and the challenge here is to turn the model around and start painting, piece by piece. By magic, all the sudden, things will come together. Well, I haven't laughed as much, giving this magic trick a go. What is happening to this legs? Each and every single one of them - a masterpiece by itself!

Das Moderne Haus

Die Moderne Reihe - Summer 2021

Some months later, in the beginning of my XR tutorial career, I found Freya Holmer. She is the reason, shaders were more less the first thing I touched. Instead of a random pic and because I really enjoyed my magic drawing skills, I took one of my pictures to follow along. Understanding that I am manipulating the pixels with sinus without even hitting 'play' did blow my mind. I was hooked!

Der Moderne Denker

Die Moderne Reihe - Summer 2021

While preparing my art to mint, I thought, I cutted the pics wrong. Bummer! I have to do it all over again but I didn't. Controlled by magic, my heads don't fit in the frame. Sometimes it is not in our hands, is it?
