[Student Group Project] Recycle Rocket Race

Recycle Rocket Race is a simple game where you try to launch a rocket as high as possible! You play by building a rocket using physical objects: you can use building blocks, water bottles, your phone, shoes, even a chair! The rocket gets scanned in, ready to launch in the game.

Originally made in January 2023

Complete liftoff scene

Personal contribution to the liftoff scene. Each layer terrain functions with it's own screen-space shader, and the clouds are made up of two parts using VFX particles: The initial static clouds, and the animated thick cloud layer.

VFX graph for the thick cloud layer. Both cloud layers have a randomized distribution on each playthrough.
