Non-Euclidean Level Design

This is the Non-Euclidean Portal 2 map featured in the video by tonymyre311. Now on the Workshop! Video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xFbRecjKQA

Thanks to TheMarcemGuy's video for inspiration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAkKKShGluE Thanks to PC Gamer for featuring me in their January 2012 issue (page 87)!

When I found out the Source Engine used in Portal 2 supported the same zone portals I originally used in my America's Army map, I decided to remake the level. Well, here it is.

The portals work pretty much the same way they did in America's Army, but they don't flicker when you walk through them, and you can shoot portals through them too. I don't know if sound travels through them, though.

These portals work identically to the standard portals you're used to in Portal, except they're exactly as big as you want, always rectangular, and don't have a border. There's still the problem with lighting not matching up, which you can see at a few points. I did my best to match them up though, especially in the upside-down catwalk room.

There's a couple of spots in the map where if you look in a certain direction, the engine gets overloaded trying to draw too many portals at once and some weird stuff happens, especially with the addition of the elevators for the Workshop. It's harmless though.
