Wow, that's pretty cool. But those are very huge particle systems. If my computer won't draw the ripple effect inside an unlinked portal or make the toxic water have reflectance (no matter how high I max out the graphics settings Mad

), there's no way it could draw those! And besides, you can see a black gap between the portals. No wonder it was beta.
Using that particle system, the infinite portal looks even more infinite Very Happy

all those problems mean you have a dx8 graphics card.

Buy a video card that is less than 3 years old.

Appearantly, according to a post in that thread, those particle systems have even less particles than the old ones. So it should work, though it might look messy.

I don't like it at all. The standard portals are fantastic.

although it all looks very neat, I prefer the old portals. The old portals look like a better product of the Portal Gun. I mean, these look very unstable to go trough.
