Hey there!
I need some help on making this render look like Chell is actually holding the Portal Gun.
Any ideas?

Perhaps put the character in a scene like a cave or something like that to make it stand out.

What program are you using?

in the game, the right hand is inserted into the rear of the device (I can see the dirty jokes now...), and the left hand is held in a "cupped" position under the dye trap (the black and glass thingy), supporting the device.

Hmm, I feel that the upper torso should be slightly rotated towards the master hand (hand gripping the trigger grip) and also the body slightly tilted downwards. Maybe you could look at some pictures of people holding a portal gun and pose your character in reference to them.

e.g.
http://s203.photobucket.com/user/x-Pipz ... d.jpg.html

Also, I feel that his left arm should be rotated such that his elbow is slightly facing outside as how a person's elbow would be in real life.

Coincidentally, I have made a Minecraft animation which includes the aspect of a character posing with a rifle and it took me a while of figuring out before I managed to get it to look kinda natural. You could take a look at it if you'd like.

All in all, I like your idea and creation and I wish you all the best in producing your final product!

I'm no render expert but the picture looks super bright. The arm and gun easily are lost into the background

In the game, the gun actually goes over the right hand, maybe you could do that?

Why not mount it to his arm? Or even put it so that the gun is on top of his right arm and his left is holding it in place from the top or side.

I never played Portal before, sorry if that is wrong :/


Also, I love your work Joao

Will try that, and the left hand like Venom said!

I know. This is just a "prototype" of the actual render. I haven't adjusted the light levels, but thanks for pointing that out!
