USC Advanved Group Project
-
Technial Artist: developed shader systems for dynamic screen reveals, engineered level streaming to transition from preview to gameplay, and implemented selective screen transparency effects in Unreal
-
UI/UX: Developed the technical logic and interactive design for the game's start page
1. Butterfly Particle Reveal in Half-Screen Transparency
1. Half-Screen Transparency & Reveal System
-
Built a customizable screen effect that makes specific areas (like UI or world spaces) transparent or hidden.
-
Created a specialized material (M_PP_Tone_BlackAndWhite) and exposed its parameters for real-time adjustment in-game.
-
This material blueprint exposes its parameters, like ReverseValue.
-
The screen position for the post-processing effect is sampled directly from UV coordinates.
-
-
Developed a Blueprint (BP_BlackWhiteInverse) to integrate the effect into the game's post-processing pipeline.
-
BlackWhiteTonePPM is used to call a material instance (already set up in the ConstructionScript).
-
It converts material parameters.
-
-
Control value with MConstruction Script within Post Processing Blueprint.
-
Acts as a complete post-processing effect system that executes automatically when the blueprint is placed in the scene or when its properties are modified.
-
Dynamically toggles the black-and-white inversion effect using an Enable variable.
-
Allows real-time adjustment of the effect's intensity by modifying the InverseValue parameter.
-
Integrates the effect seamlessly into the game's post-processing render pipeline.
-

2. Interactive Butterfly Particle System
-
Designed a Niagara particle system (FatherLeaking) to create a dynamic butterfly effect.
-
Programmed the system so the butterflies disappear or become visible only within the designated transparent screen areas.
-
Connected the particle behavior to the same material parameters controlling the screen reveal for a unified visual experience.
-
Inspector Workflow
-
The Inverse Value parameter in the Inspector controls the region visibility of the parent material.
-
Material instances are adjusted in the Defaults section, not within the base Material editor, as the Material itself is being updated in real-time.
-

2. Animated Region Preview Start Screen
1. UI Blueprint Setup (WBP_StreamLevelSelect)
-
Created button widgets that trigger the preview-to-level transition on click.
-
Buttons fetch the correct level camera from the central Game Instance.
-
Designed an animation system using Timer Handles to control the transition duration.
WBP_StreamLevelSelect
WBP_StreamLevelSelect
2. Material-Driven Visuals
-
Built a dynamic material that displays the real-time render of the target level (using Render Texture).
-
The animation is visually driven by modifying this material’s parameters (like ExpandDur), making a circular mask grow from the button's location to fill the screen.
M_RT_HospitalEntryPreview
3. Seamless Level Streaming & Camera Management
-
On animation completion, the system triggers PreviewToRealLevel.
-
This event hides the UI and seamlessly streams in game level.
-
The camera smoothly transitions from the UI preview position to the player's starting position in the new level, managed by the persistent BP_ToneGameInstance.
ExpandLevelPreview
4. Central Game Coordination BP_ToneGameInstance
-
This master blueprint handles all transitions, maintains state, and coordinates between UI actions, camera swaps, and level loading for a seamless player experience.
-
Accepts a level reference input
-
"Visible After Load" and "Should Block on Load" options enabled.
-
After a 1second delay, the system fetches all actors in the scene tagged with HospitalEntryTag.
-
It checks if a valid actor is found using a Length function.
-
BP_ToneGameInstance
3. UIUX Design & Logic
