TAROT VR: VOYAGE OF REVERIE
What did I do?
Tarot VR was the first project I worked on when I started working in TYFFON.
I worked in a lot of areas for this project. From tool development for art pipeline optimization to user mechanics replication through our P2P system.

My Biggest Role
Even though I worked in several areas during my participation in the Tarot VR Project, there where two big areas were I spent most of my time.
Technical Art
I did a lot of VFX, shaders, materials and tech art optimization. I added various Position based shaders to accomplish different kinds of effects, from wall painting to a wave-like shining for particle effects.
Also, I built a water shader based on Gerstner Waves among other water shaders, all with several customization options, depending the situation it would be used.
Gameplay Mechanics
While I was building some of these FX, I had to implement them and build the mechanics they would use to be triggered. And all of them interacted differently.
I built a movement detection system for the user’s controller, because we needed to show some particles. On top of that, I extended the system to behave like a Whip for scenes that needed something being thrown.
Then, I used the direction variable from the Whip to shoot some fireworks from the user controller. I like building systems in a scalable way, always telling myself, “What if we need to do … in the future?“.
