    “The Unreal and Impossible Geometry Chamber”
    By maxdog800
    Portal 2
    So it would appear we have stumbled upon another chamber specifically designed to mess with your mind.
    I guess the title should of been a bit of a hint right?
    Anyway, this chamber totally succeeds in the art of confusion, at the same time as making it extremely easy to loose one’s cubes.
    This video is not intended for children.
    If you would like to submit a Test chamber for me to try and solve, please follow this link:

    Thank you for joining me as I test my way through the infinite number of community made testing scenarios available for Portal 2 through the Steam Workshop all thanks to the Perpetual Testing Initiative.
    In (implied) conjunction with Aperture Laboratories, further testing is to be carried out in perpetuity
    SPOILER WARNING:
    I’m Going to complete it!
    P.S.

      How did you make that

    • @ngeruma
      @ngeruma  3 роки тому +3

      I'm not a map maker myself but I believe it's to do with the "world portal" in hammer editor. It's the thing that sort of defines where the player is in the map space. If you use no clip in a portal map you'll notice things like the space where the lift is, isn't actually connected to the rest of the map.
      I would reply to @Camerin Chin 's comment on here if you'd like to know more about how they did it.
      Thank you for watching, hope you enjoyed it. :)

    For those who whant to know how it works
    Its basicly static portals without any effect. Sadly the entity used for it is only available in the portal 2's sourcebranch. Its used by default for the editor puzzles so that entrance and exit elevators can be linked to the generated levels after compiling

    • @ngeruma
      @ngeruma  4 роки тому +2

      I know from noclipping for screen shots that each of the spaces including the elevator rooms exist individually, so does that mean it's using the same thing that makes you pass through from the entrance elevator space to the actual chamber? Just without any sort of doorway model?

    • @boris_fps9818
      @boris_fps9818 4 роки тому +2

      @@ngeruma yes indeed. In these levels the creator creates basicly multiple rooms on different locations and connect them with these 'portals'. If it merges well its a seamless transition.

      What exactly do you mean "...only available in the portal 2's sourcebranch."? It is available to ALL versions of Portal 2 as it was used extensively throughout the game. It was used for the elevators and for the hole in the ceiling of a "test chamber" you find while wandering around in the BTS area of aperture. The room you hop down into right before the confetti drops.

    I am tempted to create my own non-euclidean geometry map.
    *_With terrible execution and unreliable solutions._*

    • @ngeruma
      @ngeruma  3 роки тому +2

      This was the first map that used the non-euclidean thing as such big part of the puzzle.
      I'd played one before i think, but it was more of a gimmick than a puzzle.
      So this one really messed with my head trying to work it out.
      This video actually keeps getting views quite often compared to others, but i'm pretty sure it's because people are searching for portal made with the unreal engine. So they click this, get annoyed and dislike it.
      I'd be more than happy to play any map you want to send to me, the non-euclidean/world portal thing is very cool. Would be fun to play with it some more.

    This is the first time I had to stop the video and go play the chamber myself before finishing your run through. I've made enough crazy laser chambers that the laser path was pretty clear from the beginning, but I needed a better sense of how the "layout" of the chamber worked so I could put it all together.

    • @ngeruma
      @ngeruma  4 роки тому +1

  • @jviper2004
    @jviper2004 Рік тому +1

    Yeah these impossible geometry chambers are fun, but extremely tricky. The trick with them is you have to remember anytime you go through one of those world-portals, you are entering completely different space, even when it looks like the space is the same. This is how you can enter a doorway into a space that looks bigger than it should.

    Note that neither of these are demonstrated using the source, valve, or hammer engine, which makes them good conceptual illustrations.

    It hurts so much to see you getting so confused and lost by things you should have figured out in a minute or two... I thought at the beginning that you were just pretending, but you wouldn't make so long video intentionally, since people normally don't have such long focus span to watch it whole.
    You should have thought more about how the room and invisible portals in the chamber works and not try to solve it by randomly walking around hoping that will give you the solution by itself.

      It's funny this video still keeps getting watched so often and it often pulls the dislikes even though it's almost 2 years old now.
      This was the first time i had ever played a map that played with/exploited the world portal mechanic in this way, so it was a total shock at the time as i had no idea this was even possible.
      I'm a big fan of these kind of maps now and have gotten a lot better at figuring out their tricks, but i'm the first to admit i'm no expert at portal and i certainly don't make "solution" videos :)
      This one actually started my love of the "weird" side of Portal and seeing how creative and bizarre the portal community can get.

    ngeruma, the perfect guinea pig sent into a maze. In world portal maps it helps (as it does in life) to remember where you came from. So don't make your ways too long. And don't forget your portals to make them shorter 🙃You were close to the solution at around 8 minutes. Or at 11.
    It bugs me that this one wall always glitches. Well, I played the map myself right before watching and it seems to be fixed now.
