Blogpost: A game developer's approach to doing a user interface.

Afternoon all,

After releasing Physynth for iPad (a creative entertainment app) we did part one of a writeup on the development and I thought you'd like to have a look.

....The app itself is all custom shaders which react to light, angle and in areas which aren’t receiving light, it doesn’t get darker: it just shows base material texture colour. This gives the app a truly realistic look.

1. Specular lit detail mapping: Each texture is 2048

Didn't realise you were a PC'er dude, it's Farfarer from the Unity forums

Nice post - would be cool to see some more pics of what you've done shader-wise, just out of interest (for those of us sans-iPad).

Hey man, our upcoming project will show off a lot of what we've been designing and we'll be posting it on the blog as a work-in-progress rather than a retrospective so keep your eyes peeled
