Over six months, contributed to Fleuriel/Boof-Woof by building a modular 3D engine and editor pipeline focused on animation, rendering, and asset workflows. Developed features such as a physically based rendering system, a robust animation stack with serialization, and editor UI enhancements to streamline iteration. Leveraged C++, GLSL, and ImGui to implement shader-based lighting, gamma correction, and material systems, while integrating asset management and model loading for scalable content support. Addressed stability through targeted bug fixes and startup flow improvements, resulting in a more reliable user experience and efficient development process. Work demonstrated depth in graphics programming and engine architecture.
April 2025 Monthly Summary for Fleuriel/Boof-Woof: Key features delivered and stability improvements: - Animation System Overhaul: Introduced an Animator class with Rex animation state updates and new Rex head animation; added cage animation range controls and refined cage animation handling to improve consistency and expressiveness across animated entities. This lays groundwork for richer, more reliable in-game character motion. - Visual Shader and Material Enhancements: Implemented gamma correction in the animation shader, introduced albedo-based material coloring (editor-driven), and updated rendering shader references to improve material realism and visual fidelity across scenes. - Editor UI Polish: Refined editor window layouts and cleanup to optimize usability and screen real estate management, accelerating content iteration. - Corgi Assets and Movement: Added new Corgi assets and adjusted movement speed and animation states for the Puppy entity, enhancing pet interactions and perceived personality. Bug fixes and startup stability: - Startup Flow Stabilization: Reverted startup flow to re-enable Splashscreen and commented out startup animation updates in GraphicsSystem.cpp, resolving instability where animations could initialize inconsistently at startup. This establishes a stable baseline while live fixes are pursued. - Startup Level and Animation State Reversion: Consolidated fixes addressing inconsistent startup behavior and animation control between MainHall and Splashscreen during early load, reducing startup variability and enabling deterministic animation state handling. Impact and business value: - Higher quality user experience through smoother, more expressive animations and consistent visuals, contributing to user engagement and perceived quality. - Improved workflow efficiency for artists and engineers via UI improvements and a clearer asset/shader pipeline. - More reliable startup behavior reduces user friction and support risk during launch. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Animation pipeline engineering (Animator class, state management, head animation, cage controls) - Shader programming and material systems (gamma correction, albedo-based coloring, shader references) - Editor tooling and UX polish - Asset integration and movement/AI-tuning for companion entities - Bug-tracking discipline and root-cause grouping for startup stability

Monthly summary for 2025-03: Focused on delivering a modular, production-ready animation stack with stable visuals and performance improvements. Major progress includes Malkuth system rollout (versions 1 through V), Hod system refactor with component generation, and a comprehensive Netzach animation pipeline. Achieved serialization readiness (Serialization 1.0 and finalization) and Yesod texture/weight stabilization, alongside memory-leak fixes and UI-driven animation control. These efforts reduce risk, enable faster iteration, and improve end-to-end user experience.
