OtherAI Functional Emotion ProfilerAI Emotion Profiler is an experimental debugging tool for analyzing the quality of AI responses not just as right/wrong, but from the perspective of the functional emotional state that emerges during response generation.
AI can exhibit behavioral patterns such as overconfidence, avoidance, anxiety, helplessness, and excessive agreement depending on the situation. In coding responses, these states can manifest as skipped validation, quick fixes, hardcoding, excessive hedging, and uncritical agreement with the user's intent. This project reorganizes 171 emotion labels into valence-arousal-based clusters, and profiles the AI's current response against those functional emotional states to inspect the stability, reliability, and coding risk of the answer.

Technical Art work for a live-service mobile PvP project, covering rendering, environment optimization, animation memory, and UI structure improvements.
OptimizationVertex Normal WorkflowAn optimization workflow that creates the intended highlights by directly correcting the mesh's vertex normals, without additional normal maps.
ToolAnimation Compression ToolA Unity editor tool that automatically reduces AnimationClip asset size via RDP compression that converts Stream curves to Constant + missing-binding cleanup
OptimizationShader Variant AuditThe unified shader branched features via keywords, but in practice only 1~2 options were ever used — keyword combinations exploded and unnecessary variants were included
ToolUI Particle SpriteSheet Baker As UIParticle usage grew on Lobby / DraftBit screens, the CPU cost of Canvas.SendWillRenderCanvases() became an issue.
Instead of removing all UIParticles, this pass baked only the small-on-screen or repeating FX into SpriteSheets and swapped them.
Close-up FX or FX with a noticeable quality difference kept UIParticle, balancing performance against visual quality.
To enable this, I built a Scene-based UIParticle Baker V2 and automated 2-Pass Alpha reconstruction / supersampling / auto-slicing / SpriteAnimationAsset generation.

VFXFX ShaderCookie Run: Oven Smash 프로젝트에서 FX 제작 효율과 런타임 부담을 개선하기 위해, 기존 ParticlesBasic 우버 셰이더 의존도를 줄이고 용도별 경량 FX 셰이더를 제작했습니다.
기존 파티클 셰이더는 다양한 표현을 처리할 수 있는 범용 구조였지만, R&D 폭발 이펙트 제작에 필요한 디졸브, 이미시브, 디스토션 제어가 부족했고 기능을 추가할수록 셰이더 비용과 관리 부담이 커지는 문제가 있었습니다. 이에 폭발, 디졸브, 마스크, UI 파티클 용도별로 필요한 기능만 포함한 경량 셰이더를 새로 구성했습니다.
Custom Vertex Streams와 CustomData 구조를 표준화하여 FX 아티스트가 파티클 시스템 안에서 HDR, 디졸브 강도, UV Tile/Offset, 마스크 이동 값을 직접 제어할 수 있도록 했습니다. 이를 통해 폭발 셰이더 기준 메모리를 338.7KB에서 37.9KB로 감소시켰고, UI 파티클 머테리얼도 10개에서 2개로 정리했습니다.
OptimizationEnvironment Mesh OptimizationEven background objects that don't take up much screen space affect the cumulative vertex count and rasterizer cost.
This work organizes production rules for removing unnecessary edges and back faces based on silhouette, texel density, and camera viewpoint.
ToolAnimator State Clip Replacement ToolA Unity editor tool that automatically reconnects AnimationClips assigned to a new skin code in the AnimatorController
OptimizationSplat Map / Normal Map ReductionA pass that separates the tiling, tone correction, and boundary blending that splatmaps used to handle into Plane / Vertex Color / Alpha Decal — reducing the terrain shader's fixed texture sampling cost.
OptimizationAnimation Clip ReuseIdentified a bug where AnimationClips were duplicated proportionally to the number of characters in town, using Memory Profiler.
Debugged the root cause (FxClipEventRuntime).
OptimizationLOD Skin Weights Optimization
OptimizationUI Rendering Structure AnalysisThis pass separates UI always needed on the main screen from UI needed only by specific content.
MainHud retains the basic UI, resources reused across screens are split into a shared Atlas, and UI used only in specific screens like Smash Pass / detail view / profile are organized into per-content Atlases.
The goal is not to reduce the Atlas count at all costs, but to limit the UI texture footprint that the main screen always has to bear.

• As LOD goes down (further away), options whose perceived-quality impact is small are turned off or compressed more,
to reduce memory/data/risk, and to manage Import settings under consistent rules

RenderingShader Texture SetThe SH_Unit_Matcap shader uses Color Mask, Normal XY, and Emissive Mask — the data needed for unit rendering — packed into a single texture.
In this work, to let the art resource author produce textures by the same rules, I organized the per-channel data usage, the export size, the in-game size, and the naming rule.
The goal was to build an input structure that handles color masking, Matcap normal correction, and emissive area control without increasing texture count.

OptimizationVFX Optimization GuideIn this work, to reduce recurring costs during the effect authoring stage, I organized overdraw inspection criteria, Timeline control patterns, MPB-based color control, shader structure cleanup, particle texture atlasing, and a ResourceChecker-based review flow.
The goal was not to drastically change the look of individual effects, but to create a reusable structure and reduce redundant resources.
OptimizationUI Optimization GuideIn this work, instead of indiscriminately splitting every UI, the Canvas-splitting criterion was organized by areas with different change cycles — Static HUD / Dynamic HUD / fixed input UI / production UI / skill UI.
