The Portal Door

I will show you how to put portals on your door or wall.

Step 1 The template

You will need the template somewhere under this text. It is very big (7500 x 500 pixels), because it has to be printed on a very big paper (makes sense, huh?).

What it contains:
- 2 portals in orange and blue. They have a transparent background that has to be replaced with the pictures from step 2.

- 2 Portal logos. One is bigger than the other one, I cut the letters out and glued them under and over the portals, this looks a lot more professional ;)

- A nice picture of my favorite cube, the Companion one! I just don't like the feeling of wasting space, cut it out or throw it away, I don't mind.

The template is available for a white and a (dark) brown background, because the boundary of the portals are blurred. The picture down there shows what it looks like, but please don't use this, because it is way too small.

Here you can get the template in both colors:

Could you please email me the image because none of these links work?

[MrRandomnez]

i think it would be cool if you could somehow display video on the "portals" so you could have on upstairs and one downstairs and be able to see what is coming from the other camera.

can you send me the template my Email is: [e-mail]

[erowe]

This is amazing. Could you upload the template again?

[batonas]

great idea but you should cut a hole in the door for more realism :D

[jjunod1]

What I did was sorta a play-off of think geeks portal shirt (here) http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/portal-tshirt.html and i kinda made a frame by printing it twice then i put a screen in them then sealed it

[andyxxpanda]

it would be cooler if you hung one on the oposite side of the room

[championx5]

only thing fail about this is if u take the picture during theday then itll look fake at night

[freakyqwerty]

Need to have part of the door as glass...

[UpgradeTech]

I'm sorry, but I've tried all the links in the comments and I cannot find the template anywhere. Could you repost it?

[ddi7i4d]

I hope this one works http://www.fileshost.com/download.php?id=5C2E8C9F1

[JohnRulz]

Not working either. Try a different file sharing site, or set up a torrent. Torrents are more reliable than file sharing sites, if you can get enough seeders. You could also set up something on an image sharing site. I am not sure how large the file is, but Flickr has the larges limit (to my knowledge) of 10 mb

hey could i add a projecter and 2 cameras to make a projected image of each side if they change also be cool to have a hole so you could walk thourgh

[tinker234]

wow hey could cut a hole in the door to go thourgh

[blanchae]

I wonder if it would better using a mirror instead of a picture?

[ralphkidsguns]

this was a triumph.
i'm making a note here, huge success!
AMAZING!

[jarnold3]

This was a triumph...

[monkeys98]

could i make it bigger so that each portal can cover more of the door?

[reddog92396]

Hah ! Nice! You should have just cut a hole in the door! LOL that would have been funny I can see people's reactions

"Woah an actual portal!"

[nclarke]

Should I use Paint Shop, or Paint Shop? Which do you think would be easier?

[Higley1089]

I made a much smaller version using paint.net a regular printer and a camera.
(i needed to make a small one anyway. My door isnt Flat)

[STICKDUDESHOOTER]

How do you do that im noob with photoshop

[nubabuba]

you simply take the two photos, drag one onto the other, and resize, or remove any nonwanted areas.

[asarris]

I like it just cant find paper that big, i took my dads old projector and a web cam and hooked it up together. Then i put one of your portal image on the other side and i had a portal that i can outside and they think its fake.

[The nerdling]

you could use two projectors and web cams then print the outline of the portal then project the inards of you room using the webby and projector into the outline and do the same with the other "portal"

[STICKDUDESHOOTER]

im confused

[demonkiller111]

You know it might be easier to get a door with a round window in it and just paint the portal around it.

[The_Auror]

What's the point of having a door if anyone could see through it then? Yeah, I tought so...

[WhiteTigerTails]

Just make it so that it can be closed.

[The nerdling]

you could make an iris like on cameras

[demonkiller111]

hmm you do have a point there, :s

[The nerdling]

ok, i will talk about the portal on the outside, so the cameras see what is in the room ad the projector projects the image onto the door.
you doo the same with the other side

[STICKDUDESHOOTER]

umm can u upload the file to megaupload or atleast rapidshare cause filehost is dead

[Dumchicken]

you should of cut a hole in the door and put very clear glass on it so when someone
looks at it the'll see the backround change so the'll try and go in it but then WAM!

[SHIFT!]

Wow, what a creative idea! I would love to hang one of these from my office and in the employee lounge, you know, to keep the subordinates in line.

[Xfrim]

HOW U GET THA CAMERA?

[MikyVengeance]

Now You're Thinking With Portals :)

[Duct Tape Dude]

[dombeef]
