Davinci WorkShop(Technical)

This project was a full pipeline exercise built entirely from scratch — every asset authored through model, UV, bake, texture, and engine without any third-party resources.

The core technical challenge was building a material system that could scale across a high prop-count scene without inflating draw calls or memory. This was solved through a combination of Material Layering, 2D Texture Arrays, and RGB Masking — keeping unique material instances low while preserving surface variation across props. Custom Primitive Data drives per-instance color shifts directly in the engine, so hundreds of objects can read differently from a single material instance.

Texel density was held consistently at 2048 maps at 5.12 cm/px across all assets. Niagara handled candle flame and dust simulation. A Blueprint spline system procedurally randomized book placement and rotation, removing the need for manual hand-placement while avoiding visual repetition.

The shader,niagara, and blueprint was possible thanks to all the great teachers on youtube
