Masters Thesis: Neural Shading for Stylized Real-Time Characters

We are building the next generation of football gaming

We believe football gaming should be as exciting and inclusive as the sport itself. Our vision is to build the world’s most player-centric football game, which empowers a global community to compete, create, and connect. No outdated licenses. No legacy limitations. Just pure football, driven by innovation, culture, and the people who love the game.

GOALS is for the kids and the champions. The creators, the grinders, the entertainers. For every moment of skill, every style of play, and every version of you. This is more than just a game — it’s a new standard.

About the Thesis

This Master’s thesis explores neural shading for stylized real-time character rendering.

The focus is on using neural material representations for:

• Kits and fabrics (art-directed materials)

Rather than targeting photorealism, the project inves...
