In a reverse foot setup, the FK control is influenced by a combination of the leg driver chain, the IK end control, and in my case a global world control shown at the far left end. By appropriately multiplying, blending, and aiming each of these transforms, you can have a chain of influences on one node. I’m ordering the multiplication from large scope to small scope. That way the foot will still roll correctly with any ankle transformation, and the foot roll is still transformable in global world space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/c144cb3a-936a-4eb1-8531-73fd5f9e9066/Foot_Roll.gif Blog - More Matrix Math for IK and Cross-Module Setups - Make it stand out Foot roll driven by IK end control attribute. https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/blog/matrix-based-fk-driver-systems-in-maya monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/51325dbd-2ccb-4302-b84f-390310e17ae7/heirarchy.PNG Blog - Matrix Math FK Driver Systems in Maya - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/3dbdb597-92cf-4969-a853-0da982fe307a/parent_constrain.PNG Blog - Matrix Math FK Driver Systems in Maya - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/1763592184155-4YF0CKPGLFKWDW0FEQRZ/hand_animation.gif Blog - Matrix Math FK Driver Systems in Maya - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/blog/human-sculpting-and-rig-tool-planning monthly 0.5 2025-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/7ed71ad1-6a0e-4322-ae1f-31715e29b0cb/high_and_low.PNG Blog - Human Sculpting and Rig Tool Planning - Make it stand out High poly sculpt on the left.

For now I’m keeping theme and artistic design ambiguous and mostly greyboxing because I would like to workshop a coherent visual language across all the minigames. The current goal is just getting the gameplay working. Core design is around the player balancing focus on reading the correct answer, performing the platforming challenge, and avoiding or participating in hindrances between players. I try to identify the one sentence description of the game at the start. If your friend who has never played before asks what they need to do, what do you say? In this case, “the screen displays a color, get to the platform of the matching color.” Having a mission statement this simple is important to onboarding a new audience. In an infinitely complex game like League of Legends, the mission is simply “destroy the Nexus",” or, “destroy the other team’s base.” Although that says nothing about micro-mechanics or strategy, the new player has a goal in mind, and they will naturally develop ideas about how everything else works as they try and fail to win. Let’s break it down even further. What is one round of gameplay? The main screen rolls a random color for a set amount of time The color is chosen, and one platform is assigned that color, the rest are assigned random options Players have a set amount of time to move onto their chosen platform The players are checked for correctness. If correct, they are safe. If wrong, they lose a life Players are removed if they are out of lives If more than one player is remaining, we go again By thinking about the gameplay loop in simple linear steps, the functions that need to be created basically write themselves. Each of the above statements is a task that should be executed in the GameMode blueprint, looping until the player has lost their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/92a1cfcc-a88e-4eac-8a09-cd777bff4a3a/GameMode_Linear_Loop.JPG Blog - Game Design - Color Match Game 1 - Here’s a snippet of the GameMode Blueprint. By using GetActorOfClass, you are able to begin event functions of other classes. StartNewRound is an event that takes care of the rolling effect of the color by manipulating the base color of the screen actor every .2 seconds (or whatever you’d like). The delay node is synced with the set time for the entire event to happen, so the moment a color is chosen, the platforms will be assigned their colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/ebb846a4-c8f9-4426-9293-377f240574a8/MainScreen_RollColors.JPG Blog - Game Design - Color Match Game 1 - Make it stand out Here is the StartNewRound of the MainScreen Actor. The only custom function here is the RollColors at the bottom, which is just choosing a random FVectorArrray index that corresponds to an RGB color. The idea is that the player will see every option get “rolled” through, to add more visual appeal instead of just simply remaining static on the correct color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/7b68df35-68cb-474e-838b-b4493efc1605/Random_Array_Problem_Example.JPG Blog - Game Design - Color Match Game 1 - Here’s an example in a PlatformActor instance. If the random node’s output pin was connected to the Parameter value of the SetVectorParameterValueonMaterials, AND connected to a remove node, those two outputs would actually be two different random vectors from the LocalColors array. If you want to do multiple things with the same random query, you need to set it to a static variable that can be reused further in the execution line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/f555ca2a-ed3b-487f-b3ec-1a53e6b8ac4e/11-29-2024-Gamplay-Example-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif Blog - Game Design - Color Match Game 1 - Here is one round of the initial build. The cube in the back determines the final color, while the platforms are assigned colors, one of them matching the cube. You can see that the black cube, the “character,” is given “incorrect” feedback in the top left because they stood on the blue color. https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/blog/minigame-case-study monthly 0.5 2025-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/da6e38d1-8cf5-4e15-8ec9-0da91085826b/FaceLiftMP1.png Blog - Case Study - Minigame Genre - Face Lift, Mario Party 1. https://www.mariowiki.com/images/1/14/FaceLiftMP1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/f85b46dd-daae-404e-8d36-3a4e2af34f1d/MushroomMix-Up.png Blog - Case Study - Minigame Genre - Mushroom Mix-Up, Mario Party 1. https://www.mariowiki.com/images/7/77/MushroomMix-Up.png https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/blog/walnut-tree-1 monthly 0.5 2025-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/de454f88-6c4e-4e52-b62f-4727c5e014c8/Compound_leaves_comparison.jpg Blog - Environment - Walnut Tree 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/795ac1f8-563d-4017-be27-f08f116f76e1/zbrush+leaves.JPG Blog - Environment - Walnut Tree 1 - Make it stand out Hand sculpted variants to add more complexity than Houdini scale transforms, then retopology and unwrap in Maya. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/df8fcf96-da89-4101-a248-69dcbe1f0969/substance_base_1.JPG Blog - Environment - Walnut Tree 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/8dc3914b-bb81-473b-81f0-18c89b0aacaf/ezgif.com-animated-gif-maker.gif Blog - Environment - Walnut Tree 1 - Make it stand out Smart material speeds up iterating between season and shape https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/3b2da219-c01c-46d0-b68d-775815bf4c7f/maya_bake.JPG Blog - Environment - Walnut Tree 1 - Make it stand out Result of baking down 3D sculpt to single plane https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/927bdabd-f1bd-4d24-a561-09cdfc1388a7/houdini_pinnate_1.JPG Blog - Environment - Walnut Tree 1 - Make it stand out Example pinnate before final bake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/94097122-5d1f-4b96-8954-35486b2c7214/ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif Blog - Environment - Walnut Tree 1 - Can generate user defined amount of vertex variations to scatter onto tree and break up the silhouette Tool can generate user defined amount of variations in vertex position to break up final silhouette of the tree https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/32bd5233-0004-4254-aabc-2b905034ae97/leaf_basecolor_1001_motion.png Blog - Environment - Walnut Tree 1 - Example of texture coordinate offset mask described above (map is stretched to compensate for removal of 0 opacity space on final mesh) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/83ce4fd5-e4f0-47cf-9589-6e9762871357/ezgif.com-optimize.gif Blog - Environment - Walnut Tree 1 - Shader applied to single pinnate mesh in Unreal Engine 5 https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/project daily 0.75 2026-03-02 https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/project/ghost-of-yotei monthly 0.5 2026-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/28974f09-eff6-4034-a552-0cf37e5e938d/Capture.JPG Portfolio - Ghost of Yōtei - Structure examples from the Ghost of Yōtei gameplay trailer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/efa62e56-01c9-4fa6-b1db-028deafda99b/HouseGif.gif Portfolio - Ghost of Yōtei - This grey model shows the basic idea. The yellow volume represents the internal space the player can occupy, and the red volumes are what connect two environment soundscapes together to simulate the gaps in the structure. This would make a good first pass before getting into asset specific challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/53eac574-cc34-4377-b069-ef7a94bd4e57/HouseShutterGif.gif Portfolio - Ghost of Yōtei - Make it stand out In a simple example, there could be two uses of the same asset, one with a shuttered window and one without. A bulk of the work on my end involved determining all the possible variations of a structure in order to slot in my sound rigging to take advantage of the proceduralism. By modifying the environment team’s methods for my own, I avoided having to individually rig every instance of a building, as well as future-proofing the asset as the game world continued to populate. Along with the hundreds of structure assets, I was responsible for applying similar rigging strategies for outdoor enclosed locations as well. https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/project/category/Cool monthly 0.5 https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/home daily 0.75 2025-01-17 https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/tools daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/1752467297570-4TUVKA8R37MH7LEKITGF/WinterShrewRig.gif https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/1752467280182-0HVP3M2FJEIYT1SCNBEG/ControlRig.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/1769907072088-08MCF8MKT06AWT0Y2ELX/human_still_rig.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/c431a731-b60f-4fcf-9e04-cb588ed64d7a/module_rig_template_3.gif https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/3eed1bfa-a987-406e-9ccc-3440d5153d5b/control_template_2.gif https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/about daily 0.75 2026-03-30 https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/portfolio daily 1.0 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/c700ca86-bfac-4ec3-a68c-4901e9368f37/WinterShrewRig.gif https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/1752459969523-WKZA81IN4X1LIVYPQWIR/Cheetah_still.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/28974f09-eff6-4034-a552-0cf37e5e938d/Capture.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/6beaa475-4a10-411f-b7cf-973b52adb66a/cover_control.PNG https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/face-rig daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/e4bdef1f-6c40-4e82-a042-c66e0aa958ef/all_emotions.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/c0d6fc0e-a20f-4a27-ae73-164a36e67518/show_joints.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/12a571dc-227c-4be7-ac4c-ca385ab5956c/blendshapes.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/e8ee1066-35aa-4df7-ab62-4f686805564f/all_wrinkle_sculpts.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/e672a90e-86b1-4e31-84c7-7f8ce4ca58e6/normal_mask_pair.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/e78dca28-a3e2-4b32-a1ee-03042475eda1/Maya_normal_masking.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/424a10b0-595b-4be7-8eb9-d69f9e586ca2/UE5_normal_masking.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/f61ccbc8-809c-4bb3-a9af-56f5a5dadc7e/1to1_controls.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/253688e0-e78e-421e-bd2f-a67387489ab4/face_rig_macro_gif.gif https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/c61ffb00-ccd5-453b-8e07-76c6fffd76d9/arcpoint_constraint.PNG https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/cheetah daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/099ddcff-0698-4995-ad8b-3b90b898ebd4/Layers.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/1752467280182-0HVP3M2FJEIYT1SCNBEG/ControlRig.JPG https://www.jaspercorcoran.com/ghost-of-yotei daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/efa62e56-01c9-4fa6-b1db-028deafda99b/HouseGif.gif https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f3ba54e7c6d264c7506fad/53eac574-cc34-4377-b069-ef7a94bd4e57/HouseShutterGif.gif
