UE4 - Portal Doors Tutorial - Part 1 [ The Portal Effect ]

In this tutorial we will be looking at how to create the portal effect I used in my previous portal videos. The method, however is different, but the result is the same! And is a lot easier to make!
Hope you like it!

The current limitations are:
- Only rotation on the Z-axis ( Yaw )
- No object occlusion, which means, that objects behind the portals, will be rendered in the material. However, I am very close to a solution for this problem!

These problems are displayed at the end of the video

Additional tutorials will be posted as soon as they are done! I am currently quite busy with work, but I will try to get the next tutorials up very soon!

Just after I posting this tutorial, I started working full time (yay money!) which is why I haven’t been active for a while. I just don’t have that much spare time at the moment. Making tutorials is actually incredibly time consuming, so don’t expect another tutorial for a while. However, a guy named Dean Ashford has made a tutorial on the actual teleportation part of the portal. Go check him out, he does a lot of other cool Unreal stuff too.

You the boss! That rotation delta and combining which with which had me scratching my head for a whole night.

OMG DUDE THIS IS FINALLY OUT! THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE! SORRY FOR CAPS

[Foqerman]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I appreciate it a lot and helps me with my own project :)

[tomeastwood]

Love this! Gonna use it in my TARDIS simulator.

hi!

about limitations

- Location and rotation math a little bit weird. Better use inverse/transform math and vector mirroring. I think you understand that 2nd portal is the same as 1st, but works like mirrored by X and Y axes?
It would be good if you try to make simple line trace through portals. It should use inverse transform location/direction to get things into local space for 1st portal, mirror by X and Y, and transform location/direction to deproject from 2nd portal. If you understand how that math works, well, you can do everything with portals )))

- Object occlusion is possible by enabling global clip plane in project settings. After that you can find it settings in scene capture component and modify it with BP.

Yup, this is the EXACT same result I've come to. If ONLY we could alter each individual cameras' clipping planes this would be about 90% of the way there to legit Portal style portals (minus the slight complications trying to stand directly between the two.)

[will_hyde]

Hey man thanks for doing a tutorial on this :)

[Koolmie]

If have the sounds it'll be better but hey thanks for making this video.
Helps a lot, it's really really good.

[gamecity]

You save my project you'r awesome

[virtualbones]

At 3:39, it doesn't let me put a render target in. No notifications, im just unable.

[UltradigitalStudios]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! Is there a way to make it work with any camera and not just with the player camera?

[themidnightspark]

Altan, great video bro! when is part 2 !?!?

[oncheonchepanachay]

IF we modify the scale of one portal, will the other one become a little bit bugy ?

[dillzilla]

anyone knows what to do if the capture components wont rotate at all?

[Mr_i_o]

Do you use render 2d capture?

I've tried to use cube capture with a slim rectangular prism and it looks quite good. I may post a video explaining how and what I did

[:]D

My idea was to make a VR portal game, but having your hand appear through the portal as a transition not an instant teleport.

Can you make a Tutorial on moving through them? and that you can place them manualy with left and right Mouse Button? would be nice

[CONCEPTESTUDIOD]

QUESTION OF THE CAMERA I ADD AT THE DOOR IT IS FACED WHICH SIDE COULD INSERT

[Jesmodev]

Hi guys, remember to enable subtitles!
enjoy!

[dennisg]

Thanks Atlan! I can't wait for the next one. Especially the solution for the last problem which bothers me the most. Is it already solved?
