    DreamWorks Animation, Los Angeles, California, USA
    • Developed a wireframe shader, which provides the edge flow and topology information of a 3D model.
    • Developed a curvature shader, which visualizes mesh curvature by measuring the angle between the surface normal and its neighboring normals.
    • Developed a blend normal shader, which shades objects by interpolating colors based on the angle between the normal at the point being shaded and the viewing direction.
