About Me

Who am i

Hugo Montañés.

Technical Artist

Hi I'm Hugo Montañés, a technical artist. I'm currently at 4th grade in the Designing and Developement of Videogames degree at UDIT.

I'm experienced in shaders creation in Adobe Substance Designer 3D and Unreal Engine, VFX creation in Niagara, lightning, programming in C#, C++ and Blueprints in Unreal Engine, and 3D modeling.

SCRUM is the agile project management framework that I have been using in almost every project I was in. I also employ GitHub for the versions control and collaboration for the ease it is to work with.

And some of the softwares that I use are: Unreal Engine 5, Adobe Substance Designer 3D, 3DsMax, Unity, Visual Studio, Visual Code, GitHub, Photoshop...

Material Preview

Master material for the shader.

Color of the water and murkiness

Using the single layer water node for the color of the water by adding a vector 3 that will be the color that the material will be absorbing, and a parameter that will be for the murkiness.

Material Instance

Instance for the water shader.

Creation of the water texture

Using two normal maps and moving them in the x and y axis.

Creation of the ripple effect in nodes

Using the distance to neares object node from Unreal Engine I could recreate the effect of waves for the shalow parts.

Creation of the ripple effect in HLSL

This is a custom node that does the same thing as the ripple effect, but in HLSL code. The code is the following: lerp(1.033,1.066,((sin(((1-(saturate(DistanceToNearestSurface/Ripple_Size)))+(Time*Ripple_Velocity))*Ripple_Count))*(1-(saturate(DistanceToNearestSurface/Ripple_Size)))));

Material Instance

Instance of the master material to change parameter easily.

Input values of light and shadows

With the input nodes of Post process intput and Base color stored in G buffer, we can separate the colors entering the camera and the light by desaturating them, so that we get only wite and black.

Steps of shadows

We let the color in again but by steps so it has the cartoon effect by using the same nodes we used before without desaturating them.

Color of the light and shadows

With two vector 3 we can choose what color we want the light and the shadows to have.

Field distance

To get the distance depth we use the node Scene depth and with this we can change how far it affects the shader.

HLSL Showcase

Shader 1

Code: return(step((ceil (uv * param) / param) - (sin (t)), 0.5));

Shader 2

Code: float d=length(position-(frac(uv*gridSize))); return d <= radius;

Shader 3

Code: float2 tex = frac(float2(uv.x * grid.x + offset.x, uv.y * grid.y + offset.y)); if(tex.x>=dim.x|tex.x<=-dim.x||tex.y>=dim.y||tex.y<=-dim.y) return(cementCol); return (brickCol);
