Trino
Technical Artist/Effects Programmer
Particle Editor
This Particle Effects Editor was created using C# and XNA for my student project Trino 2.0.
Using this tool, artist can easily Load effects stored in XML formate and modify them.
This editor also allows artist to compose multiple effects with reference models and background.
To add new effects into the game, artist can simply save their work in XML format and put this XML file in game code.
All effects in Trino are designed in this particle editor.
Normal Mapping
Technology: C# | XNA | HLSL
Normal Mapping is commonly used to provide depth cues to a flat polygon. Normal mapping requires additional (normal) texture to encode the perturbed normal for each pixel. The screen shot on the left is the combination of three rendering techniques: normal mapping, soft shadow and per-pixel lighting.
Soft Edge Shadow
Technology: C# | XNA | HLSL
Improving on the hard shadow map, I generate soft shadows using a technique called Soft-Edged Shadow. The result is pretty impressive and certainly enhance the visual quality.
Projective Mapping
Technology: C# | XNA | HLSL
Projective Texturing is a common texture mapping method that allows an image to be projected onto a scene as if from a slide projector. I also shaped the light by using another texture.
Tea and Sugar Train
Technology: Action Script 3.0 | Photoshop | Maya | Illustrator
This project is an ETC oversea project. Our client Australia National Railway Museum wants us to build an Interactive Exhibition for kids to better understand the history of old famous Tea and Sugar Train. My role on this project includes:
Jungle Book It
This is a BVW(Building Virtual Worlds) class project in Carnegie Mellon, which is the bootcamp course taken by first year students in ETC. A group of 4 students with interdisciplinary background create an interactive world using different platforms within only 2 weeks.
Technology: Python | Panda3D | Maya 8.0 | Photoshop
Massive Crowd Motion Sensor controlled Racing game, collecting bananas. My role includes:
Hands of God
This is a BVW(Building Virtual Worlds) class project in Carnegie Mellon, which is the bootcamp course taken by first year students in ETC. A group of 4 students with interdisciplinary background create an interactive world using different platforms within only 2 weeks.

A 3D puzzle game with Virtual Glove to grab 3D object, which needs guest to pick up smaller animals to help them avoid being eaten by larger ones, and save certain number of animals to win. My roles were painter and producer, designing the whole style of the game, painting all 2D and 3D objects. As a producer, I was responsible for setting meetings and schedule.Pixey
