MadTod Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'm creating a Dwemer themed mod and I'd like to add a portal in which you use to access it, however I can't think of what to use for the portal. I've so far decided that I want to use a large dwemer arch (0.75 scale) for the portal itself but I can't find anything for the 'wooshy' part of the portal. I've looked through the creation kit and nothing I've found seems to fit. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what to use, with either things in the creation kit or maybe modders resource. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

icecreamassassin Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I have been planning on making a tutorial for creating the portals that the Snow Elf gem platform and the wayshrines use. You know, the ones that project where the portal leads and has a wavy energy field over it. That would be a cool thing to do. You have a graphic tool like Photoshop or something and know how to make textures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTod Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) I have basic knowledge of texturing and use G.I.M.P to do so, but would a portal like that requre Dawnguard as I like my mods to stay DLC free if possible? For the last part (well I could just delete it, but for context I'll leave it in), I assume the texturing would be to add a screenshot taken at the points of the portals to use for the adjoining portal to make it look as though you can see the other side. In which case (if assumed correctly) I would then use a flat mash like the BlackPlane as a door and add the texture to that to create a portal, thus eliminating the need for DLC. If I am incorrect just view this as a madman's rambling. Edited October 26, 2016 by TanisDuncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecreamassassin Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yeah you could basically re-create the flat mesh of the portal, just check out the DLC portal in NifSkope and essentially re-create it for another flat object, or even just save it out as another mesh file. Here's the finished tutorial, it will tell you everything in great detail. https://arcadiamgames.wordpress.com/2016/10/26/gate-to-another-world-creating-portals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
