PCI Enterprises

About:

At PCI Enterprises, I am working on designing and developing the 'Interactive Home Designer' (IHD) for 3D artists at the company to use in product visualization. With this application, artists can quickly build environments, place company products, set up cameras, and batch render thousands of images for each product style and color.

Key Features

Material Library and Editable Dynamic Materials

Designed and developed a material library that can be accessed during runtime
- Materials can be dragged and dropped onto the material slots of the selected asset
Created a master material with a variety of scalar parameters that can be adjusted by during runtime

Asset Library and Transform Controls

Designed and developed an asset library that can be accessed during runtime
- Assets can be dragged and dropped into the scene
Assets can be moved, rotated, and scaled one of two ways:
- Through a 3D gizmo in the scene
- Through a details menu where the user can input exact numbers
Users can turn on and off snapping for transform controls in the details menu
- Values can be input to specify what values the transformation snapping is set to

Tiling Tool and Product Selection

Created a tiling menu that allows users to quickly tile the selected asset in the scene
- This menu takes an amount for how many assets to tile in each axis, as well as an amount for the distance between each tiled asset in each axis
Designed and developed the product selection menu
- Users can select the product style that the want to display in the scene as well as the color
- Selecting a new style or color will automatically update all products in the scene, including tiled products
