I was wondering if there was somewhere I could download the Portal Effect as seen in the Teaser Trailer. If there is nowhere to download it, could somebody make it? Here is a picture and a link to the Trailer on YouTube.

Well, the current Portal effect is easier to spot at a distance... but I must say I really liked the 'burned-in' effect of the old portals.

i liked the one in the trailer, it looked more like it was a "tear in the dimensional fabric" instead of a "perfect hole in said dimensional fabric"

well if you find a way to create a gun that is easily carried around and can just happen to create linked worm holes (repeatadly and quickly) in our dimension... Why WOULDN'T it be perfect?

I like the in-game version best. The trailer one looks kind of sloppy to me, but I can see Doomsday192's point about a "tear in the dimensional fabric". The 360 one looks kind of kiddy cartoonish to me, like most XBox graphics.

especially from far off. see that orange one? ridiculous... but the upclose blue one looks kinda cool. like there is energy radiating from the portal.

I dunno, I like it better than the current one. It looks a lot smoother and more defined along with more detailed. I really wish I could get those instead of the current ones.

I guess I am requesting for a mod to be made. (well 2 mods possibly)
The Portal Effect from the Trailer, and the Portal Effect from the X-Box 360.

The one for 360 looks more like Portal Logo. I'd like to have that thing replacing the current ones.

I thought we already had this discussion? I still go with current portal design anyways, it is easier to spot from a difference with the particle effects.

I'm not trying to start a discussion. I just made a request for Modders to try and make those portal effects in a mod for Portal on the PC! Is it that hard to explain?

I LIKE the effects from the trailer, but the ones in-game are less visually distracting.

Closest recreation possible with the new portal display system.
You can't make any real textures for it because it works by taking a noise mask, duplicating it twice, and panning it in a random direction.
