2021 - Personal Project:
RealTime Eye VFX
This time for technically a challenge, The task was to "Make the default Sphere look hella sick" I decided to create an eye. I learnt a lot from this project, specifically about how simplicity is probably the best option. In the future, I should look at what the project needs and how I can make it as simple as possible. I added far too many features that I did not use because I thought they were a good idea.

Since my Capstone game, I've been looking to get into VFX and Technical Art. So I decided to use a challenge by Harry Alisavakis to start learning.
