Professional Projects
Flame-based lighting for virtual heritage
During my PhD I worked on the problematic of lighting a scene using only flames as light sources. I used Path Tracing and Bidirectional Path Tracing algorithm in PBRT. Here is an example of what the Notre-Dame bridge in paris could look like in the 18th century :
I also worked on the optimisation of rendering image sequences where scenes are lit using only flames using path reusing in Path Tracing and Bidirectionnal Path Tracing. The left video is rendered in 23h, the one on the right in 3.1h :
Terrain Modeling from Feature Primitives On GPU
Wavelength
Wavelength is a game created in 3 months at the end of my master year. This project was presented in front of 400 people at the Gamagora Game Show 2014 in Lyon (France).
We were a team composed of 2 programmers, 7 Level designers and 6 3D graphic artists. The game engine used was UDK and we also built binary for use with the Oculus Rift DK1.
Wavelength is a survival horror FPS. The player is a soldier who has fight an enemy that can only be seen only with a specific device at a given visual frequency.
My part in the project was Core feature and AI programming.
