“In Game Thinking, we use what we know about
motivation in games to make experiences more meaningful, engaging, and
inclusive. I want to take you on a thought-provoking journey through the ways
we can use the 10 Key Player Motivations to teach better, collaborate more,

Animated displacement maps on 3D animation.

I was fascinated with the idea of having a displacement map on a 3D render that is animating but I knew it would've taken me ages to figure everything out, I never had the time to explore it.

Creating the "animated" textures on After Effects

Example:

Figuring out how all the "normal" displacement maps worked and creating the 2D textures.
