Write Up 01
The project requirement was to setup Visual Studio and import an external project called Graphics to the exisiting solution.
GameCast Director
Unreal Engine Plugin
GameCast Director is a custom Unreal Engine 5.6 C++ plugin designed to support esports production and cinematic capture by acting as a centralized camera director. The plugin enables seamless runtime switching between multiple camera behaviors while maintaining strict performance constraints.
C++ Engine System
Texture Loading & GPU Binding
I designed and implemented a custom texture system as part of a modular C++ game engine. The system supports asset building, runtime loading, GPU binding and cross API rendering for Direct3D11 and OpenGL. It integrates into an existing engine architecture with custom builders, reference counting and platform specific backends.
Graphics and Engine Programming
This section showcases my work in C++ focused on graphics, engine architecture and asset pipelines. It covers platfrom independent rendering, tooling and performance driven asset workflows.
Write Up 02
The task was to create a Mesh and Effect class which should have platform independent and dependent code. The goal was to better understand the project's coding style.
Write Up 03
The requirement was to make the Graphics project completely platfom independent and make use of index buffers.
Write Up 04
The focus was on moving the Mesh and Effect to the game layer and also supporting reference counting.
Write Up 05
The requirement was to implement character and camera movement. The focus was also on to make shader platform independent.
Write Up 06
The requirement was to move all mesh data to the data layer, i.e into a human readable file (lua file).
Write up 07
The requirement was to export the data from Maya through a plugin. The data is outputted in the format of our lua file that the code expects and renders the mesh.
Write Up 08
The requirement was to convert the human readable lua file into a binary file at compile tima and during runtime, read in that binary file to extract the mesh data.
