UPDATE: My portfolio website has changed and is now www.craftprops.com. Be sure to check out my other work.
SEE THE NEW BEFORE & AFTER SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF PORTAL: TERMINAL VELOCITY, HERE: • Before & After Compari...
DESCRIPTION:
My interpretation of what a real Portal gun would be like if one existed. Based on the video game, Portal. I tried to match the game as close as possible. This was not done by any large company or a VFX team, but merely just by myself as a hobby. This was the most challenging project I have ever undertaken, consisting of 3D tracking, seamless camera cuts and 3D camera projection. ENJOY! The Visual Effects.
Breakdowns will follow so watch for that.
For those of you that think the gun is a physical prop you can buy, well.....sorry to break the news to you, but it's entirely CG. The 3D Portal gun was replacing/covering up a painted up coffee can with tracking markers. Here's a 3D turntable of the model, • 3D Portal Gun
For anyone that wants to know the song used: Snakes On The Take - Freeplaymusic.com
Software Used:
Autodesk Maya - Modeling/ lighting
Zbrush - Texturing
PFTrack - 3D tracking
After Effects - to composite
HDR shop - to capture High Dynamic Range images for 3D lighting/ Refections
Trapcode Particular - for particles

Well if you're talking about when I shoot out like a canon towards the end, that's my CG stunt double. But the stuff inside and I'm falling between the portals, I was just sitting back on a stool while moving around.

@3DperspectiveJS 3 месяца назад

This is, BY FAR, the best portal VFX video I have seen. I love how you don't shy away from showing tons of views through the portals. Most vids I have seen try to show the actual portals as little as possible. And the fact that this was done 12 YEARS AGO??? that is crazy. Excellent work on this awesome video.

@MightyElemental 10 лет назад

Now that's what I call special fx!

@cocoavideos 3 года назад

Saw this for the first time today...really cool the way it is all seamless and I laughed out loud of the guy continually falling. I've seen a few other "portal" youtube videos, but had never seen this one. Well done!

@JCraftvfx 3 года назад

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

@JCraftvfx 12 лет назад

That was the very next thing on my list to do, a side by side comparison. Then after that I was going to do some actual breakdowns of shots. So look for that next peeps.

@danielkrasno Год назад

Just rewatched it again after a few years. Even today the effects are absolutely AMAZING! and 10 years ago? I don't even want to start. They were SO good that 11 year old me believed it was real for a week! 😂

@fiercedeityfan 11 лет назад

Dude, words cannot describe the awesomeness and amazingness in this... Very well done...

@JCraftvfx 12 лет назад

nope, at :52 it's at the angle it should be, you'd be looking at the higher point from that angle. The top of the portal is closest to you and the bottom is farthest away from you. A lower point wound put the portal upside down/ flipped the other way. I based it on the angle in which the gun shot it.

@PlanesWader 12 лет назад

Unreal! I know there has to be some simple camera slide of hand, but you do it so well that it's seamless to my eyes. Everyone has to see this. Who knows? Maybe you'll actually fool some people into thinking it's real for a while :D

@JCraftvfx 12 лет назад

its actually 1:44, when were looking up at him, this was the mistake. the footage was accidentally flipped in post and what were seeing is the reversed image of teh footage from behind since its in 3D space. (if that makes sense) I wouldve updated this version on youtube, but you cant simply over write it.

@OmniNogard 12 лет назад

Epic dude. The acting was fine(may not be best but better then most B movies i seen.). The CGI on the gun made it look life like. Makes me wish the gun was real.

@alexscott75 9 лет назад

Its funny watching this three years later to when I first saw this and how I thought it was amazing at the time, but comparing to the quality now on RU-vid, especially the audio, you can see how far we've gone in these few years.

@miaarcher6480 9 лет назад

wow that is insanely impressive

@JCraftvfx 12 лет назад

about 2 years of my time, 2-4 hours each night. Mainly due to the 3D tracking part of it. If I had gone the more practical route with, static cameras, a physical prop and camera cuts this could've been done easily under a 6 months time.
