by Dennis Hafemann in Addons


How to use

v.1.2.0


6 predefined presets show how to use Portal Projection and to stimulate your imagination, select and add.


7 predefined materials show how it works to combine the default Portal Projection Material Shader and your own custom materials. From noisy fading over blurry visions and foggy looks to colorful abstract materials. Select and apply the material to all of your selected projection display objects.

The selected material will be used when adding or applying manually a display.


A default button for adding a simple setup, with a camera and a projection display.


Add camera:

Manually adds a Portal Projection camera object to your scene.

Add tracking:

  • Selecting only the camera object adds an Empty object and tracks the camera to it.
  • First selecting an object and finally the camera object tracks the camera to the selected object.
  • First selecting multiple objects and finally the camera object adds an Empty object located at the median point of the selected objects.


Add display:

Adds a new plane object as a Portal Projection display. If the is an active object, this will be used and directly appliyed as the camera object.

Apply display:

Turns all selected mesh objects into a projection display, using the current selected material and the activated object as the camera (if option is checked).




The Portal Projection camera and projection display can now have a wireframe, via the modifier's tab, which helps a lot to visualize the objects itself and the directions and perspectives.
