@ehcmier@AdrianSettere94 Believe it or not, this trick does not require any NewDark wizardry! I just stumbled backwards into a dark engine rendering setting that allowed me to fake a very nice portalโwith a lot of limitations, of course.
@ComradeKiwi_ @vfig Like vfig said, one big downside of using objects is that they often don't light perfectly. But there's also a nice benefit: They can be easily re-sized and moved about. If you build a brushwork tower and then realize "I want it 10% bigger" then you've got a lot of work to do...
@ComradeKiwi_ @vfig @DanaENight You could try using anim8or to get your feet wet. Itโs not quite as powerful as blender, but I find itโs a little easier to get a handle on the basics.
@vfig @DanaENight @ComradeKiwi_ Indeed, I can confirm, it works in 1.18. Though the wr_export commands that NewDark introduced saved some of the headache ๐ค.
