Leonardo Quiñones developed a heatmap rendering feature for the Unity-Technologies/Graphics repository, focusing on real-time visualization of simulated enemy positions within the Unity Engine. He integrated compute shaders with the Render Graph to process positional data, apply brightness adjustments, and route the resulting texture directly to the camera color buffer through a custom Render Feature. This end-to-end solution, implemented in C# and HLSL, established a reusable workflow for future graphics features and enabled more efficient debugging and design iteration. The work demonstrated depth in graphics programming and compute shader integration, with all changes traceable to a single, well-documented commit.

September 2025 Monthly Summary: Delivered a new Heatmap rendering feature for the Unity Graphics pipeline by integrating compute shaders with the Render Graph. The feature generates a heatmap from simulated enemy positions, applies a brightness adjustment, and outputs the final texture to the camera color buffer via a dedicated Render Feature. Implementation committed in e22926e89a4854d01d65d723572251fb771838ca with message 'Compute Shader Render Feature Output Texture'. No major bugs reported for this period. Overall impact: Provides end-to-end visualization analytics in the rendering pipeline, enabling faster debugging and design decisions, and establishing a reusable compute shader + Render Graph workflow for future features. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Compute shaders, Render Graph integration, Render Feature development, texture routing to the camera color buffer, and commit-based traceability.
