Retrofuturistic Shader Diorama

A retrofuturistic shader diorama originally created for a university project. Control the free camera by holding right click and using WASD. You can even enter the tiny worlds within the tesseract cube!

I created all of the shaders for the project, modelled the ship, furniture and props, and textured many of the models.

The shaders written for the project are: Raymarched Nebula, Growing Deflector Shield, Fire/Thruster, Shell textured Grass, Wind, Ocean with object interaction (boat bobs up and down on the surface of the water), Snow with object interaction (objects leave trails in the snow), Leaves in the wind, Icy lake (POM), Stars, Ice block diffraction (objects within or behind the ice are distorted), Hologram, LCD screen with individual subpixels, Dynamic liquid container, Sci-fi cables, Editable tiles, Dynamic rain on tiles and floor, Detail mapped tiles, Oscilloscope screen, and Interior Mapping (for the rooms in the city).

Here is a walkthough that shows some of the shaders closer and in more detail:
