Other 3D Projects

A selection of other 3D projects outside of the main portfolio.

Nimbus

Mesh generation suite. Uses point cloud data and Time-of-Flight sensors - July 2026

3D point cloud of a textured surface against a dark background.

White straw hat and Rubik's cube on a quilted surface.

An investigation into generating high-fidelity 3D surface meshes from raw spatial depth data using inexpensive sensors. The project evaluated driver-level depth packet decoding, spatial point cloud generation, and sensor limitation bounds across different Time-of-Flight (ToF) hardware architectures.

A packet-decoding pipeline was built using libfreenext2 to interface with an Xbox Kinect V2 sensor, decoding raw IR depth streams (from its 512×424 sensor) into calibrated point clouds.

To resolve close-range and minimum size limitations, a close-range Arducam ToF sensor module was selected for small models and props, while reserving the Kinect sensor for human-scale and room-scale scans.

Animatronic Metal Gear MkII

To compliment the Rail Gun from Metal Gear Solid 4, an animatronic self-balancing robot modelled after the MkII from the same game is being developed.

This robot can balance on two stepper-driven wheels, and will move forwards, backwards and rotate on command.

The robot consists of:

2x stepper motors
2x motor drivers to handle the high voltages needed to drive the motors
An Arduino to send commands to the motor drivers
An IMU sensor to measure acceleration, velocity and orientation
4x micro servos to control arm, head and bonnet movements
A Pixel 8a to serve as the audience-facing screen
An MLX90640 thermal camera and C310 webcam to provide visual interest to the screen

3D Artwork

A range of digital artwork developed for commercial print-on-demand retailers has been created. Designs were modelled, rigged, posed and rendered in Blender, and a wide range of products have been purchased by customers around the globe, including shirts, stickers, posters and fridge magnets.

Man wearing a light gray t-shirt featuring a render of Metal Knuckles against a plain background. — Available on shorts, hoodies, sweatshirts

Silver water bottle with a render of Metal Knuckles against a plain background. — As well as multiple size stickers, posters and fridge magnets

Unity 3D Projects

Multiple video games and 3D experiences have been developed using Unity for PC and Steam Deck. A kickstarter for an upcoming commercial release is available here.

Two split-screen views from a video game; left shows a character in red and white colliding with a vertical pole, right displays "DEAD" indicating failure, with a circular ramp and abstract shapes in muted tones. — A physics-based mecha racing game, where the player attempts to navigate loops, turns and jumps without damaging their craft

A physics-based 3D platformer/action game, where the player uses an acrobatic tank to jump between tall buildings.

A top-down action game, where the player controls a weapons platform that can pick up and use physics-based weapons from enemies.

A police chase/city simulator game, where the player has to navigate a densely packed city, carefully navigating through traffic jams.
