Whenever I open the file I saved the portal as and print it, it comes out as a different size, presumably because each program I open it with crops or stretches the picture to fit it on the paper.  What program do you guys use to print it, as I can't get them to come out as 3" in diameter?
That's just rediculous.  Next thing you know, they're gonna give marines anti-dark lance armor or turbo boosting for bikes.  Wait....

These are seriously cool.  Well done.  I was considering painting something up to resemble the Stargate from the movie/SG1, but these are easy and effective; I'll just steal yours.   ;)
I'll give the liquid surface look a try.

If you are using Windows, the image can be opened in Paint. Or you can Right-click and select Preview and then click on the printer icon at the bottom.

Right click on the image and open in Internet Explorer. That should keep the original size.

btw excellent portals there :)

I found a way do make them darker and change the color myself. simply open microsoft picture manager and change the settings for contrast, brightness, hue etc.

here is the extra dark blue template I modified:

they look pretty good, I prefer a 3d model for my WWP if im gonna take one (50pt is just to expencive for a 500pt army)

what program did you create it with?

photoshop? fireworks?

Im gonna create e model for mine anyway (shouldn't be to hard since i take an education in architecture ^^)
I was thinking about making a small box (from wich the portal comes) with 4 spines coming out of it to bind the portal inside.
(if possible, wich I think is not, i would like to have the portal rotating)

Thanks for the help everyone, I finally managed to print it out at the right size by changing the size of the printer layout to 5"x7".  Thanks again, BrotherCaptainRice, your portals=w00t!

OK, here is my first crack at making a watery Stargate-ish portal:

NOTE: This is not full-sized!

Let me know if it works (and I'll start putting them up on my site), or give me suggestions!

Magnus Avalon: I used Photoshop to make these.

That looks wicked cool, and it should definitely appease the Star Gate fans.  I prefer the older ones (the color matches my army very well), but this one is still awesome.

I find that if you get a music track that you like, you can make some quite good webway portal designs by playing the song and switching to one of those random visualisations. Then when it looks good, take a screenshot. Them print out and cut to size.
I had to change my sig, so this message will remain here until i can think of some witty comment or phrase. :)

Now linked to in the stickied thread for useful topics, well done.
Rejoice.  Despair. 
Fate does not care.
Each knotted mind entwined. 
Each soul another's bind.
And blind though we are led. 
In time we do know when, to cut a thread.
-Erfworld
