Voxel style 3D creation app.

This was the first project that I had worked on at Appy Monkeys. I had to use Unity to update an existing app and then add new features such as a drag to add and remove blocks and a complete UI overhaul.

I also learnt the process of uploading to the iOS store for this app.

Voxel style 3D city builder app.

I had updated the UI and workflow for this app, along with adding new features like a character designer for the characters that you can place in the cities that are built.

Voxel style 3D Model Creation app.

I had done some UI and workflow updates for this app. I also converted this app from Javascript to C# to allow for future updates.

Voxel style 3D World Creation app.

I had done a lot of rework on the UI and the design to make it look and feel better on PC systems since this was one the most used apps built by Appy Monkeys on iOS platforms. Hence the app was first ported to the PC platform from the iOS build and then improved upon.

Updates and improvements made by the users were also incorporated into this app.

Volumetric sculpting app using primitive shapes.

I was lead programmer for this app. It uses SDF compute shaders to create the polygons and then it is combined inside a volume that allows a user to create models using boolean operations. The models can then be exported out as an obj or stl and then be used in other softwares or 3D printed.

This was also the first application that Appy Monkeys has uploaded to Steam, so I was also responsible for the build and upload process to Steam.

I also ported Claydo to macOS from the PC version.

Voxel style Animation App.

I was the lead programmer for this app. It uses voxel volumes with a rigged skeleton and allows a user to model and animate the rig without having to leave the app.

The animation has keyframing features for each controllable limb and they will interpolate between keyframes for smooth transitions from one keyframe to another.

The modelling mode will put the same model into a T-Pose and allows the user to use voxel blocks to update the model without affecting the animation.

The animation can then be exported out as a video or a .gltf file which contains the model and the animation information that can be used in any other application that has gltf support. Since gltf is not a native format used by Unity, I had to learn the gltf file format and code an exporter that uses the animation and model data that is created in Anima Toon.

Combined Drawing and 3D posing application.

I had worked on the 3D posing half of this app. The user can use the included models or import .obj files to create a scene when can then be transferred to the drawing scene seamlessly so that it can be used as a reference for the drawing or the outlines of the drwaing directly.

I had added different shader styles for different views of the 3D models. This includes a toon shaded style to grey flat shaded mode to a silhouette mode. The camera can be positioned in any place that the user wants and the FOV of the camera can also be adjusted in a very intuitive manner.

2D hand drawn animation app

This app allows to create a 2D hand drawn animation from scratch.

I worked on Updating UI and making better workflow for this app.
