Summer Updates

September 6th, 2025

Over the summer I spent a lot of my time refining old projects that didn't quite sit with me just yet. I loved working on this back in May and couldn't leave it be without fixing some little things I noticed. I really wanted to change the size and timing on the spherical light coming from the portal sim. It's a separate light to give off the allusion that the particles are intense. It allusion didn't work when the light's key-frames ended further out than the portal sim. So, I fixed the timing and key-frames on the light to make sure it lines up properly. mI also intensified the god rays coming through the ground. It looked too dull to be called a magic portal.

Lastly, I went back over my Nuke file to color correct the magic portal and roto'd some little details in the shrubbery to bring my foreground back.

Thank you for keeping up with my final project journey in my FX course at SCAD!
