Working on this project was an amazing experience and I’m super grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such an amazing team. This is a few of the fire effects that I worked on for this project.

A compilation of some of the blood pools and splatter FX for water and snow done during the production of The Last of Us: Part 2 including asset building, textures, materials, timing and placement. Additional support and shared assets by Naughty Dog FX team. Additional character support by Naughty Dog character team. Systemic support from Naughty Dog programming team.

Some of FX works on The Last of Us Part 2. There are including joint work and collaboration. Especially, --- About Snow Interaction (snow footprint deformation) --- Tech Artist -Steven Tang (deformation shader work), Environment Texture Artist - Joakim Stigsson (texturing of snow surface), Graphics Programmer - Artem Kovalovs (implementing FX system). Graphics Programmer - Vincent Marxen (Shader regarding depth writing for parallax mapping). Also Eben Cook, the lead FX Artist helped and gave great ideas to me. --- About Beach Wave (Curl Wave) --- It's collaboration work. The animation of the wave projections at foreshore, waves crashing against the rocks and nice wet sand representation were created by VFX Artist Quinn Kazamaki. My contribution is curl wave, splashes and foam ( and churn) related to curl wave. 
Also Eben Cook, the lead FX Artist helped to improve splash's looks. Quinn also delivered some waterfall assets for the creek and river! GPU FX system: Artem Kovalovs and Raymond Popka.

I was responsible for bringing the water to polish. Elaine Kubik worked on setting up the water meshes initially for the area where Ellie drives the boat out of the building and down the rapids. The water mesh in the wides were also temp and created by her. I took the mesh in the background and faked some terraces and brought it to polish. The waterfalls I placed is a particle that was made by Quinn Kazamaki, and I hand placed each waterfall in the background. Then I put those waterfalls in it's own render region to turn them off when the boat is far away, or not in view of the camera. The rapids were initially made by Elaine Kubik as temp, then Taylor Duval edited the water and added algae, churn and foam. I then took the mesh that was made and brought it to polish; I readjusted the vertexes, repainted the foam and churn maps, and baked the new textures. The waterfall and splashes were made by Quinn Kazamaki, and I hand placed the FX on the rapids. The water falls at the end of the rapids were added by Taylor Duval.

Working on this project was an amazing experience and I’m super grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such an amazing team. This is a collection of a few of the many water sections that I worked on for this project.

My goal with this effect was to make something that hasn't really been seen in games before(although, with so many games out there I'm sure someone has done it at some point). I was responsible for the foam projections and material modifications for the wet sand as the waves would crash and push up onto the shore, run down it, and then seep into the sand. Basically just integrating the wave effect into the shoreline. Wataru Ikeda was responsible for the rest of the effect including making the water surface deformations and the wave crashing into itself. Malcolm Hee was the background artist I worked with on the sand material. If you see some frame blending, that's just some artifacts from trying to loop the video.
