3D prints

I’ve been fascinated by magnets even since I was a kid, but it only turned into experimentation when I came across a video about Halbach arrays. I wondered whether I could come up with an unassisted levitation design, so I got myself an FLSUN Q5 delta 3D printer, a few dozens of magnetic cubes and learned how to create models in TinkerCad. Even though I did not succeed in my initial plan, I still ended up with some fun magnetic toys I can show my guests and a bunch of rock-paper-scissors dices for boardgames.

PotatoGame was meant to be a game about little potatoes with customizable AI gaining world domination, though my real motivation was to make art. I wanted to try something out of the box and build a tech demo of a completely procedurally generated abstract looking 3D game world. During the development I’ve been a part of a coach guided mastermind program, where participants could follow the progress of graphical designs and world map and level generator algorithms. At the end of the mastermind program I had the chance to publicly talk about the project in front of an audience, where one person told me I inspired him to learn programming. This has been one of my proudest moments in life.

Floating Islands

Floating Islands is yet another example of my experiments with procedurally generated terrains. I developed an algorithm that takes island positions and island connections as input parameters and generates a 3D grid world using a Perlin noise internally. I focused on the cartoonish design with edge outlining and also had an A* pathfinder algorithm set up for the little red cube.

The idea behind the demo was a game with floating islands. Though this game never made it to the reality, Ground Tool was born as a result of experimenting with the rendering of these islands. The user can draw a polygon border to the island and when all points are connected, the program generates an island which can be inspected by zooming and moving the camera around.

I wanted to try rendering hexagon blocks (hexagonal prisms to be correct) instead of cubes. The underlying datastructure is a 3D grid procedurally generated by Perlin noise. This demo does not use textures, but has a custom GLSL shader that draws grass or rock details based on the normal vectors.

Minecraft clone

Minecraft clone is a graphics project I worked on during the final year of the university. Contrary to its name it is not a real clone, it features no game elements aside from placing and removing blocks. My primary motivation was the recreation of a Minecraft-like rendering in C++, focusing on optimizations like omitting hidden block sides and dynamic loading of chunks/zones.
