Riley Gatley contributed to the JaxGitH/Mindshift repository by developing and refining 3D art asset workflows, lighting systems, and material pipelines in Unity. Over three months, Riley implemented an experimental art asset testing scene to accelerate visual QA, established a multi-zone lighting pipeline for consistent environment art, and consolidated materials and shaders to streamline asset management. Using C#, ShaderLab, and Unity’s version control, Riley managed complex scene setups, lighting configurations, and shader property adjustments. The work emphasized stability through disciplined revert strategies, enabling faster iteration and reliable upgrades. Riley’s engineering demonstrated depth in environment art, asset integration, and cross-team collaboration.

August 2025 monthly summary for JaxGitH/Mindshift: Delivered visual and asset improvements in Mindshift while preserving stability and maintainability. The Zone 3 Lighting and Materials Refinement enhances scene realism with updated counter-top lighting, ambient/shadow colors, and a new green material variant, with a controlled reapplication flow to ensure correctness. Asset Consolidation cleaned up materials, shaders, and metadata (including removal of deprecated material TxtSet_1_Green.mat) to streamline the asset pipeline. Project Stability work focused on undoing problematic changes and merges, including a revert of the Dev -> Art-Lighting_2.0 merge and removal of a large object set to restore a stable baseline for ongoing development. These changes position the project for faster iteration and more predictable upgrades in the next cycle.
