Real-Time VFX Artist Jack Anderson has recently paid tribute to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, a 2023 animated superhero movie showcasing an incredible recreation of a stylized portal effect from the film.

As stated by the artist, this particular portal effect was selected for its vibrant colors and gradual appearance, with Anderson describing the FX as a fantastic way to enhance shader skills with minimal use of Niagara. To replicate the effect, the artist utilized a variety of software, including Maya, Substance 3D Painter, Substance 3D Designer, Unreal Engine, and Adobe Premiere.
