During my third-year at BUas I had the privilege of working for one year on a custom-engine. As graphics programmer I was responsible for setting up a renderer using Vulkan, that was optimized to run at 60fps on a Steam Deck.

Blossom, is a nature simulation engine that makes use of procedural tools to create natural landscapes. My main responsibility was to work on the graphics for the PC and incorporated the grass simulation I developed a prototype for a couple of months ago. However, in this engine it got the attention and place it really deserved to shine!

During this project, I researched grass rendering and animation. The goals I set for myself were to render high quantities of geometry within short durations and make it modular. The final result reached those goals and more!
