Portals

If you're looking to build your own portal VFX, a fun fact to know is that the word "portal" comes from the Latin word "porta", meaning "gate, passage." In the storytelling world, portals can be magical or technological doorways leading to another location, period in time, or dimension of adventure. In this week's Reference Vault, we traveled down our own rabbit hole to gather some of our favorite portal VFX and we invite you to step right through!
