I created this example project for a Tech Art Class I gave for SAE School Australia (but gave the class later also at Enjmin, Nord University, Howest & Vertex School).
It is an extension of my previous project called “One Shader to Rule them All”. The basic idea of both projects: (Almost) all materials are based on only one (super duper) shader to speed up the creation of vfx materials. In addition I wanted to learn more about stencil buffers and challenged me by making a magical card with a little interior inside and a dragon being able to peek out of the card.

certainly like your web site but you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a
few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth
on the other hand I’ll definitely come back again.
