- Very impressive! Took a bit of time to get figure out the whole process but it works very well.

Very impressive, I wouldnt know where to start to make a mecanic like that. Thanks for the explanation in the comments below. You've done an amazing job on this in such a short amount of time.
Check out my game below as well :D

VacaketionLooks amazing! Took me a bit to see the hole in the wheel for the stick. But, it's a really great experience start to finish. I also liked the bit of text you hid in the tree. :P

GameNumber027This game was amazing start to finish. The mesh deformation and creativity you can exhibit on the clay mask is amazing and the painting and combination of colors is amazing. I didn't even figure out about the ability to modify the mesh until I watched your video. Good sound and good everything really.

A Wizard's WandAmazing the mesh deformation and painting. That's really awesome but I cant figure out how to make fire to finish the mask.

Folsom VR_AR ScifiVRGameWow !! Graphism are just awesone ! Sounds too !
Really great work ! Lot of complex system as sculpting or tube animation. Impressive in a gamejam !!

Golf 'em all ! [GameJam]HTC Vive User here: nice hand models, gameplay is nice. How did you do the drawing on the clay?
5 star rating sent, because it was sure a lot work! Thanks for your submission!
While you are here I've played yours, so please check my game out in the button below. I wonder if you can play it with your headset.
Ok, i'll do it when i have time, though not today, i'm still chilling after that hard week, i'll try tomorrow.
And sculpting related stuff works using same principle as deforming snow in modern games. Basically, i have camera that renders depth from below the table, and using that depth information i can detect shape of things above mask.
For this implementation i use 4 256x256 depth buffers (though it could be done more efficiently, i didn't have time for optimizations) and 3 mask buffers - actual depth buffer (1 channel, never shown), postprocessed depth buffer (1 channel, used for mask height) and color buffer (4 channels, used for mask paint).
- deformation - Everything drawn here will lower mask height, if rendered pixel height is lower than mask height. Stick renders here when held straight.
- smooth - Everything drawn here will blur mask in that region. Stick renders here when held sideways
- paint - Everything drawn here will fill color buffer with specific pixel color. Stick renders here when coated in paint.
- postprocess - Renders whole visible scene above mask (including hands and other stuff, if there were other stuff) and additively applies this to existing deformation, then blurs whole image and lerps postprocessed buffer with this result for smooth height change during deformation.
Everything is done on GPU side, so it should be very fast.
No, i didn't used tutorials, but i believe you can find this algoritm by searching "Snow deformation shader"
And for example, here is messy code from this game, though i suggest you to search for tutorials first, since this is not exactly plug & play:
