In this project I wanted to re-create the LED mask shown in the payday 2 trailer for the Nintendo switch!

This mainly consists of creating a fitting Payday 2 mask model, on which I "project" a custom texture image. 

After finishing my Journey shader project, I learned how to light up specific parts of a model, using a texture. For this project I learned how to then remove the color from specific sections, also defined by a texture. 

I replicated the led effect from the trailer, by creating a masking texture, which has the appearance of many individual leds in a grid. 

This worked pretty well, and after applying different base textures, the results shown below was achieved.
