Lightfield Commander
Lightfield Commander is a demo project on the Unreal Marketplace, designed to demonstrate the Leia plugin that was developed for Unreal.
The plugin itself integrates with Leia’s 3D Lightfield-enabled devices, and provides a starting point for users to create and render their 3D content using Leia’s proprietary technology. You can find the plugin here.
The demo itself is an arcade game that includes features such as:
- Classic Asteroids-style arcade shoot-em-up gameplay
- Variety of item and weapon pickups
- Touch controls and mobile compatibility
I was the sole programmer for this project, implementing:
- Niagara-based bullet and weapon upgrades systems
- Scoring and item drop systems
- Object-pooled asteroids and enemy system
- Optimisation for stereoscopic content for mobile
- VFX and Shaders
- Integrating 3D effect using Leia’s Lightfield technology
Below are some additional screenshots, showing the project files integrating the Leia plugin and the 3D camera setup:
