Testing some more world portals, they're freaking crazy:

Looping staircase:

Falling Corridor:

Frozen, why are the frames on the inside of the wall?

Hold on, give me ten minuites to redetail one bit, and i can ugly up this thread with hammer screenshots.

The premise is that its an old test chamber, panels would've been supported on those frames. Maybe I should add one to make that more clear.

Wait world portals are working in the modded sdk? Damn, wanted to wait till the SDK was official, but clearly I'm missing out here.

@joodude: That first screenshot looks like something out of mirror's edge. Sexy.

Adding to the sexiness, lighting experiments! Portal hates skyboxes though, so it was a drastic attempt to use env_sun instead of a dynamic light.

I swear this forum section is a secret attempt to stop us from finishing up our contest maps.

I copied them out of a valve map Frozen. I don't know why they're not working. I only have 1 too!

Hmm... I didn't do anything except double the brightness. Did you enable it with the flags? the Valve stock on is off because they "move" the entity with the player based on where they are.

Didn't they say that total render time JUST for the intro sequence's hotel room was like 93 days? I mean hell, it's worth it but christ.

I am having a TON of fun with lighting so far.

Frozen having fun with lighting D:
this is a new revalation.

 

[Micnax]

I'm having even more fun:

 

[Leminnes]

Eh, I liked the simplicity of the first one much more.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Little overboard on the lights...

It's kinda trippy.


What I hate is how we can only have 1 env_projecttexture going at once. I'm not sure of another way to get around this, or if there is something else similiar I can use for my inbetween chamber areas...

I have been using lightmaps and light_spots, but I can't find a nice crisp shadow maker.

EDIT: btw, godslayer, its revElation, not RevAlation.
