Test A Day Project - Day 19 - Chamber 19

Infact I'm fairly sure that in portal 1 they had a black non portalable surface pseudo 3d texture that was designed to look like anechoic chamber spikes. And yeah. I plan on redoing all my chambers in hammer gradually, tweaking little things in hammer to make them even better so im sure ill think of tons more ways.

Yep ^^ Nice idea, for the moment I only reason using PeTI objects, but with Hammer they sould be many other ways to do that ;)

True. I tend to use those here and there. But at the same time, Theres a thematic avoidance of clutter that they break. Apeture is a clean tidy symetrical place PeTI rooms especially so. Adding random stuff like glass or lights for no apparent reason sometimes doesnt feel right. I may have to address this in hammer with some kind of 'non portalable' ' surface... im thinking a white version of the anechoic chamber 'eggcrate' foam pointy surface kinda thing... since its well established that you can only portal onto flat surfaces this would be a neat soloution and at the same time, keep the 'science' look.

If you don't want to use black surfaced for design reasons, there is at least 2 other ways to avoid placing portals where the laser hit the wall :
- Place 2 lights or 1 observation room there.
- Place a glass panel on the wall.

v2 update uploaded. now with less places to get stuck and ways to just walk through the level!

Damn... nice find... thats so getting fixed... so easy to forget to remove portal surfaces from a room when the white looks nicer lol

Hem... You can just walk to the end and exit without doing any test X) Just 2 portals to activate the laser receptor ^^"

Pretty good, but you can get stuck in a room after a faith plate if you move in between the angled panel
