I always wanted to try to tackle hooking up mount/dismount animations in engine. This was a fun challenge

Guess I can finally share this! A spider shader I made for Tomb Rainder Reloaded. It uses world position, sine waves and vertex colors to animate the spider, all done on the vertex shader. Those are projectiles so they had to be cheap and not skinned. #VFX #madewithunity

Back in 2017 I helped start an entire Visual Effects studio to ship Legends of Runeterra. I'd never done a startup before and learned many painful lessons. But after 5 years I figure it can't hurt to throw some of the FX and keyframe animation work I did. Our failures define us.
