Unity Shaders and technical art : project soul sower
Soul Sower is a small farming game made in 3 months by a team of 6 first year game design students in 2024. I was responsible for everything related to technical art : shaders, vfxs etc , as well as most of the level art in Unity and a lot of gameplay coding. Most of the actual 3D modeling was done by Lucas Larrey and Geoffrey Voineau.
Water Shader demo. The cool thing is that it uses a flow map (made in substance painter) and therefore is able to follow the river's path correctly.
Stylised water shader graph. It includes the usage of a flowmap
and depth-based edge detection.
Grass Shader demo - see how the grass moves when the player runs through it.
Grass shader graph. It includes Player collision , Wind displacement , and world color variation.
Magical Stairs that react to the player's movements
Stairs vertex shader : The whole mesh is entirely reconstructed inside the vertex shader using UVs and vertex color alone. I can control each individual step's size and position inside the shader,and make it react to the player's position for example.
