Austin Caskie is a graduating Master’s student from North Carolina State University College of Design focusing on technical and 3D environment art. For his thesis, he programmed an interactive-knot tying simulation for virtual reality, which includes a custom and robust rope simulation. Other notable projects include programming a Eulerian fluid simulation for a painting application, designing 3D modular kits for game environments, and foliage creation using Speedtree with photogrammetry. Austin is interested in all things at the intersection of the visual, digital, and interactive.
