Worked as an art director of VR attraction "BIOHAZARD WALKTHROUGH THE FEAR"
"BIOHAZARD WALKTHROUGH THE FEAR" is a VR attraction of Capcom's "Resident Evil 7".
Capcom has outsourced this VR attraction version of "Resident Evil 7" to Dynamo Pictures in Tokyo.
The main programmer of Dynamo Pictures asked me to work as an art director for the project.
In Unity I had re-constructed asset data of "Resident Evil 7", that had been built in Capcom's in-house game engine,
in order to make levels and characters playable as a VR attraction.
The quality of lighting I had reproduced in Unity looks very close to the one in Capcom's product.
I had also reproduced all assets of FX in Unity such as explosion, smoke, gun effect, and creature appearance/disappearance effect.

Creature(Molded) appearance/disappearance effect
|
|
Gun impact effects
|
|
Blood effects
|
|
Fire effects
|
|
Growing mold
|
I wrote C# script myself for this asset to implement animated color textures and animated normal textures.
Animated textures were created in After Effects by me.

The lighting I had reproduced in Unity is very close to what Campcom had achieved in their game engine.
This video shows artifacts in light bake BEFORE I had fixed issues in light map UV, normal directions, light bake settings.

Prop modeling and look dev

Rigging chainsaw
|
Rigs for props were not provided by Campcom. I had set up ones for all props which need to be rigged.
Python script I wrote was used to help create a complex rig such as the blade of the chainsaw.

Editing animations provided by Capcom
|
New animations were needed in the VR version of Baiohazard 7.
I had edited animation provided by Capcom for creating into derived ones.

Physics simulations
|
All physicss simulations are done and baked in Maya, then exported into Unity as FBX.
Because those props have to move along the same trajectory every time players experience the VR attraction.

Various effects

Reflection on the paddle.
