Portal Animation

[Opulus]

Well I’m not sure if it’s the right toppic, but I would really appriciate if the Portals would have animations! It could have an strong animation for creating/placing like an magical effect of particels flying into a small flying ball where you “placed” the portal, exploding and the portal is there.

Then if it exsist and you go about 20 blocks away it collaps nto an flying magical ball again or something. and its only a ball if noone’s around 20 blocks from BOTH sides/worlds.

And for destroying its an explosion of the ball again 😀

Yeah i want Portals for being magical flying balls xDD

What do you guys think about it? ^^

Sounds like a great but potentially laggy idea to me^^

[Opulus]

Whaaaat?! Laggy?! Commmon they are professionals! Its only a small animation or better, 3 small animations 😀 Fo the explosion you could only make the sceen white for 2-5sec’s or something so it looks like an explosion it works and it is really cool ^^

I really hope they do animations for portals, even if it’s not my flying ball idea 🙂 It would be a shame if you have the power to make portals and they onl ‘plop’ in front of you .. That would be wasted .. uhm.. “opportunities” is that the right word?

[Kuma]

Yes it is the right word^^ I’d love to see some kind of animation but I’d rather take the plop portal without lag than the extremely cool one with lag if we had to make the choice^^ (Btw I believe they can do it if everything goes right^^)

If they won’t do it I want an special edition where it is like this just for me 😀

I rather like the current portals, just walk through and BAM! you are in another world. I suppose I wouldn’t mind if some particle effects were added or something, but nothing that impacts the immediacy of the transition.

I particularly like being able to see through portals to the next world, so I’m against proximity animations closing the portal, but effects and sounds would make them fit in better. I’m sure something is planned for this later, it is still very early in development.

They do look strange at the moment, with no border around them or anything.

I actually really like the current portals; they have a very nice artistic simplicity to them. I think that a frameless door into another world is a lot cooler and more original than some Minecraft-esque “stone border and opaque energy” portals.
