Thesis: Modular Islands

I realized that I never uploaded this: My thesis project while in grad school, worked on from ~8/2018 - 5/2019.

During previous team projects, I began realizing how difficult it can be for multiple artists to author different assets under a consistent style - especially when that style is not focused on realism. Often, it was easy to tell which artists created which meshes and textures. Therefore, I wanted to try and create a system which relied on very few unique textures and meshes, and instead utilized material properties to use these textures and meshes in a wide variety of ways to create visually different environments.

Materials were authored using only the Base Color, Emissive, and World Displacement inputs (or Refraction for translucent objects).
