this is my little paper tribute to a happy game by Valve about magic doors.
you can make this little paper thing if you print out the paper patten.......


<----this one here (if you click on it it will get
bigger) It is a little tricky to make
but only because it is little. I found the best way to
make it was to print it out on a sheet of A4 card
or thick paper and then shrink my self down to
the same size and use a small army of worker
puppies to assemble it. if you can't find worker
puppies or shrink your self down to size then
stare at the print out before you go to bed and
you can dream that you made it and wake up
feeling happy and refreshed.

Tony Bullard said...

Being a jpeg makes it hard for me to get it to print without chopping off edges...can you make a pdf version?

BTW, awesome job!

niftylite said...

your work is awesome!!! :D

Swami said...

Can we have one in vector, like in PDF? :D

tripone said...

Beautiful execution. I second the motion for a vector version if possible.

Great work, though I wish it were the companion cube instead :-P

Great work. Can I ask what font you used in the imaget too? I really want to know where you found it.

The cake is a lie!!!

hehe if you have a mac just go to file> print> click PDF> and save as PDF. This can be done in Safari :)

Imma make one for me workdesk

Brian said...

Here's another request for PDF format! :-)

Well Done!

The only possible improvement I can imagine is to change the graphic on the cube into a pink heart as on the Companion Cube.

/I'm SO making this.

can't being to tell you how awesome that is

In the game you cannot make a portal in the darker wall tiles...

Patrik said...

Wow! I'm going to build that right away!

Anonymous said...

those arn't the darker wall tiles I think, on the jpg they look like the regular ones.

NightShadow said...

that is really cute. Yes, wish it was the Companion Cube too lol

This was a triumph

Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit, and I said 'Goodbye', and you were like, 'No Way', and then I was all, 'We pretended we were going to murder you'. That was great.

Noel said...

Wow, absolutely beautiful. Though, I was wondering(someone else mentioned it as well) if you could possibly make a version with the campanion cube instead of the regular cube? That would be perfect.

Hello to everyone, to all of you that want a vector version of this awesome work,
If you have illustrator CS2 or CS3 you can make it with livetrace, it works very well, and then you can scale or change the colors or just play with it.

GREAT WORK, I LOVE IT

Robert said...

Fantastic, I love portal :D

Anonymous said...

This is great! The way you made the portals is so clever! It's hard to overstate my satisfaction!

Stephen said...

That is so cool. My son and I just discovered this game and are having great fun playing it through. I need to find some card stock so I can have this on my desk at work. Thanks so much for your efforts and creativity.

*S*

Stephen said...

Ooh,

If it's not too much trouble, I would also like to throw my vote in to put the heart on the cube. I miss my 'companion cube'

I'd even like a larger one.

*S*

Martman said...

This is the best thing i've ever seen and then got around to make, going to print this out several times bigger, build it and relish in my own "little" portal playground on my desk, and yes i also wouldnt mind a companion cube version, and maybe even a little portal camera to stick to the wall.

Anonymous said...

This was a triumph! (I'm sorry...)

Built it, and it goes perfectly on my desk with my paper companion cube. :D

Great!

Matt said...

Incredible! I would love it even more if it had the weighted companion cube. You should design more papercraft.

dkennygold said...

What size of paper could I print this on without shrinking it first?

Danny said...

Very cool, gotta try that out myself.

Anonymous said...

Прикольно :) Надо обязательно сделать.

bgg said...

Great wark, man!

Fernando said...

This is so cool... Portal is such a nice game... I just printed myself a piece, took me 3 hours to assemble :P But the result is nice.

Klaster_1 said...

Nice addition to paper WCC ^^
PS: Превед ;)

Blu3storm said...

prabab said...

Cool idea :D.

Coggins said...

I made it, and while the wall ended up kinda wavy(due to too much glue) and the top of the heads didn't glue down properly(my fault), it's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

anxietydecending said...

Congratulations on being featured in december's PCGamer. Check it out while you can.

Paul said...

Love it! I printed it out and just finished it. It's now standing on my PC-table and looking really neat. Thanks!

Greetings from Germany

you have a gift. this is still my favorite.

Abebil said...

Your way of describing things are so coated with sugar that i often find it unintentionally hilarious. Like "if u click on it it will get bigger" and stare at it etc. Saw it on PCGamer tubby! You should get royalties from them for quoting your site!

Citizen 5 said...

Hi!
I just wanted to let you know that I tried to make this.
Now, I'm sorry that it's not perfect because I don't have any glue but I tried my best with sellotape instead.
Enjoy!
