Volumetric lighting
MK Volumetric Lighting
Turn your existing URP lights into atmospheric sun shafts and light beams.
My normals are fine. I’m just going off on a tangent.
Hey, I’m
Michael!
I make games, shaders, and Unity assets. Graphics programming is the part I enjoy most.
A love for games.
An obsession with the details.
Crafting Bench
Stylized shading
MK Toon
Shape your own art style with customizable toon shading, outlines, and artistic lighting.
Bloom & lens effects
MK Glow
Bloom, lens flares, glare, and lens surface effects for expressive lighting.
Environment art
MK Low Poly Environment
Build flat-shaded worlds with modular terrain, sculptural forms, and editable wind shaders.
Shader Graph toolkit
MK Nodes: Dissolve
Create dissolve and disintegration effects with modular masks, modifiers, and vertex animation.
Behind the scenes
MK Shader
A custom lexer, parser, and generator let me write shaders using my own layout and templates. One file stays compatible with Built-in, URP, and HDRP - even beyond Unity 7.
Screen-space lines
MK Edge Detection
Create crisp outlines or artistic screen-space lines, with visual debugging tools.
Refractive shader
MK Glass
Create refractive glass with configurable distortion, surface effects, and shading.
Bloom & lens surface
MK Glow Lite
The lite version of MK Glow, focused on bloom and glow effects.
Painterly shading
MK Watercolor Shader
Give 3D scenes a watercolor feel with soft shading, brush strokes, and artistic lighting.
Manga & ink shading
MK Manga Shader
Bring manga, comic, and ink-inspired shading into your 3D scenes.
Gradient shaders
MK ChromaFlow
Create gradient-inspired art with per-object shading and full-screen effects.
Sprite rendering
MK Sprite Shader
Render pixel art and hybrid sprites with antialiasing and physically based lighting.
Shader Graph toolkit
MK Nodes: Splat Mapping
Build layered materials with height blending, wetness, parallax, and flexible splat controls.
Shader Graph toolkit
MK Nodes: Toon & Cel
Compose toon lighting and stylized shadows with modular Shader Graph nodes.
Shader Graph toolkit
MK Nodes: Triplanar
Build UV-free materials with triplanar, directional, and camera-facing projection nodes.
Shader Graph collection
MK Nodes: Bundle
Four modular toolkits: toon shading, splat mapping, triplanar projection, and dissolve.
Fantasy vegetation
MK Low Poly Trees
Populate fantasy worlds with low-poly trees, easy recoloring, stylized wind, and three LODs.

BEHIND THE SCENES
A peek inside
the dev room.
A little experimenting. A lot of “what if?”
Here’s what I’m experimenting with.
DEVELOPMENT SPOTLIGHT
MK Shader
One shader system across the render pipelines
A custom lexer, parser, and generator let me write shaders using my own layout and templates. One file stays compatible with Built-in, URP, and HDRP - even beyond Unity 7.

A BIT ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Michael.
Let’s make stuff!
I like making the tools behind a look: shaders, material controls, and systems that help other developers shape their games.
I’m a game developer and Unity Asset Store publisher, and graphics programming is the part I keep coming back to. Most days I’m working on my assets: trying out a shading idea, chasing a particular look, and making the controls useful for someone else’s project.
Beyond the individual effects, I work on tools such as MK Shader. Its custom lexer, parser, and generator let me use my own shader layouts and templates while keeping the render pipelines together in one file. I like having that freedom to work on both the image and the system behind it.
Get in touch- Graphics & GPU Programming
- HLSL and GLSL shaders, compute shaders, and real-time rendering techniques, including ray tracing, lighting, post-processing, and stylized shading.
- Language Processing & Code Generation
- Low-level programming and language tooling: custom lexers, parsers, and code generators, with close attention to data structures, memory use, and performance.
- Systems & Tool Development
- C# and C++ development, modular software architecture, editor tools, and render pipeline integration for Unity, Unreal Engine, and custom engines.
