Projects

Unity Doom Tool




Unity
Unity 3D project. It is a tool to load levels from the classic game Doom to Unity 3D. It reads data from Doom’s IWAD files and dynamically creates everything in Unity. I have gone through all specs of old Doom to write code that properly parses every type of data-lumps from IWAD and converts them to formats usable by Unity.

Sky Particle Recorder



Unity, Shaders, VFX
My personal tool for creating beautiful seamless and looping animations. It records, palettes, dithers and adjust resolutions and puts results into gifs. I use it to make animated textures for classic Doom projects.
