Portal 2 - Meet The Cores - VFX Breakdowns

-----

A brief 'VFX Breakdown' for my Portal short film 'Meet The Cores'. The entire project was made over 3 weeks in my spare time.

This started as a very quick visual test, but grew into something a little bigger. I'm not 100% happy with it, but it was a good learning experience! There are also a few things I wanted to add to it, but I'll probably save them for later videos! ;)

Huh, just imagine how hard it was for Harry to make videos without using SFM and recording in-game backgrounds several years ago. How easy it became to make animations in SFM, with supported Portal 2 maps. Incredible.

Love these breakdown videos, they're always so interesting! Loved Ego core btw.

[HarryUK]

That's the 'unused' one shown in this video, just with a green body as well. ;)

[BabyCharmander]

WOW, I never realized how complicated it must be doing some of this stuff--like the custom texture for Rusty. O__o That looks like it took AGES. You are crazy skilled, dude.

[MelanieRebel]

Your soundtrack "pull yourself together" is so amazing!

[cakemiwa]

You're amazing. I wish I had 1/9 of your talent. Congrats!

[SongSilhouette]

It's really hard to tell whether this an official video or not. Truly amazing!

[cyberfox]

Man, if you made these guys into a series, I bet it would be a big hit :3

[lad]

I knew it was hard but this is much harder than I tought

[perrinehuet]

[Woolrych]

I really love your films you make. I'd love to see a really indepth tutorial as to ow you make them all

[NinjaPieceLOL]

man and i thought it was some kinda super machinima or something. i didn't think you made it from scratch! just shows how authentic it looks!

[TheComicproductions]

I wish i had 3ds max to make all of that, it looks really cool!!

[latterose]

2:04 i think that unused design was base/inspiration for Dr.Alma

[Silverthunder]

Harry, PROudOS would be GLAD! This is like your best work yet, dude. My favorite, atleast.

[JohanFriedner]

I love your different colorcorrections in this vid! Make a tuturial about it? :D

[Lucaninae]

What was the unused core supposed to be? I know he was in the Pit Song but what is his purpose?

[Fellefan]

how can he see the moon when you're FAAAR underground? I mean, really?

[RhysClark]

he's right you know, the facility just goes down for miles and miles, it doesnt start miles down

[SunchippStudio]

The core texture was interesting. Would you want more people to give you a hand for more core textures
