YIGIT KANAT

TECHNICAL ARTIST

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Yigit, a technical artist from Turkey, and I've been making games for 4 years. While I have enjoyed both designing and programming games for years, I found my true passion in making Shaders, VFX and technical art. I love to solve problems while making games between the art and development sides.

PORTFOLIO

You can contact me by mail for my jobs in the projects that I can't publish publicly because of the privacy of the projects. Also, I can share the usage in the projects of the some jobs that are in below.

Shadow Baker Tool and Shader

C# and Shader Graph

This is an external Shadow Bake tool for Unity. Normally, when you bake a shadow for an object in Unity, it bakes a shadow on the ground underneath the object and you cannot use this object separately from the scene. Also, achieving a nice and soft shadow look in Unity is not easy.

This tool creates separate shadow meshes and bakes under each of your objects, and at the same time, they are based on the same texture. Thanks to this method, you can use your objects in separate scenes, in separate prefabs, and with baked shadows in an optimized way in the transform you want. Also with the Shadow Shader that I made, you can get very nice and soft shadow like on the image.

Fake Cloth Shader

Shader Graph and C#

Using cloth simulation in Unity is not good for performance on mobile devices. I made this Cloth Shader to fake the movement and feeling in a more performance way. As you see in the video, vertexes of the cloth act like gravity applying them.

Light Beam Shader

Shader Graph

It's a Light Beam VFX that changes visibility due to viewing angle.
It's wonderful when you use it in a good environment.
There are some waves on alpha because of the recording :)

3D Masking System

C# and HLSL

There are many ways to try Cloth Customization, but if the models have already been prepared and there is no time to edit them, how do you use two items on top of each other without conflict?

In my system, the object on the outer layer, let's say a jacket, comes with a mask within itself. The object in the inner layer, let's say a t-shirt, comes with a shader suitable for the system. You can mask this jacket by putting any product you want that has the shader on it. It can even be a jacket over a jacket :)
