Hello Everyone!
I've had the idea of turning Aperture Science into a larp group for a while, and I'll be starting now
Every day I will post progress of what I've done, along with screenshots and other information. I'll also use this project to motivate myself to learn programming.
Stay tuned!

Proposed rank structure (nothing is copied from QS directly, both groups use portal as a refference and some names might intersect)
Director of Science (C. Johnson in lore)
Assistant Director of Science (Caroline)
Corporate Board Member (high authority above the facility level)
Facility Director (elected every x months or so, will propose administrative changes, run the facility)
Division Overseer (departmental high ranks)
Facility Administration (low level admins, keeping the place running)
Supervisor (Senior/Departmental command)
Employee (departmental member)
Intern (newly inducted employees, in a position of a departmental internship)
Awating Assignment (pass an application, become this member, youll have the non-departmental employee team to roam around and stuff, to become an intern pass a departmental application)
Alpha Class Test Subject (olympians, athletes and other VIPs)
Beta Class Test Subject (hobos in lore)
Visitor
⚠️ still unsure if i want to keep beta and visitor separated and if i want beta to be application only, or free and the group should be employee only
would love if you guys voiced your opinions
little tangle
Thinking about it, would it be more tuff to have it in the 70/80s or modern aperture?
Problem is, the combine rolls around in the early 2000s, and glados gets activated around then

Textures with PBR
Excuse my shitty laptop resolution
Something bigger will be posted later, rn im on my laptop, thus it'll suck
For anyone that needs P2 textures, they're from an official valve employee, on this page you can also find other resources
Literally cannot find the dark metal wall texture, if anyone has it 😭
Bit the bullet and downloaded a zip of all of the portal 2 textures 💔
No custom PBR
Sad
little tangle
What gun system should we use? I was thinking either ACS (fps), viethin (fps+tps) or Echelon (ots)

Conclusion for day 1
Since the project has just started and I'm on my shitty laptop, stuff has been going slow
Managed to do this and import some materials, altough this is just temporary lighting and some parts
This will be in the style of old aperture

You can pull it directly form the Portal 2 files, use Crowbar to unpack the VPK file and use VTF edit to extract the texture into PNG which can be uploaded on Roblox. I know a little bit about Source modding.
I could help you extract the texture, I don't have time right now but tomorrow. It's easy to do.
Including the normal map

I downloaded a pack of textures from the internet, although I'll have to do custom PBR for most
pure gorge
Does the pack only come with color maps?

Yes
little tangle
Cooking up some lore since I can't do shit on this laptop 💔
I don't know how to make my documents pretty since this is the first time I make a lore doc BUT I promise the content will be satisfactory
Little snippet
little tangle
Added PBR to the textures
If anyone wants to make their own PBR from a basecolor map,
Go into photoshop, select your basecolor, go to filters - 3D and select normal map
For the roughness and metallic maps, just make your texture black and white and play with the values

there is free portal 2 material with pbr though 👀
like you can get it directly from roblox studio toolbox
little tangle

I prefer making the PBR myself and using the portal 2 basecolors for accuracy

laptops slow asf so ill cease development until sunday

is it gonna be a RP game?
little tangle
Conclusion for day 2
Again, due to my chronic laziness I didn't manage to do much, I did some more PBR work and a few models
Moreover, I started working on the lore and ranked my boyfriend in the main group, thus our administrative workload will be cut in half from an efficiency standpoint
Tommorow we'll get the layouts and stuff finished, baiiii!!!

This does look quite cool. You should also try learning Hammer. You could make some great maps with it for the actual game.

Isn't uploading to workshop free? Portal 2 has workshop support. Also if you're making a mod, you can upload it to ModDb.

it might be easier for them to stay on roblox also

i mainly want to stick to roblox because i enjoy larping/making larp groups, but i could learn hammer for money and to expand commissions
little tangle
Conclusion for day 3
Was busy all day, had to do commissions
Will wait until I get home to start on the asset pack. Hopefully, once we get a scientific head, they could tell us what to do in each sphere, so that we can make the layouts accordingly. Until then, I'll work on the main facility.
little tangle
Layout will be worked on today
little tangle
Ok yea the map will be big... Radius of one enrichment sphere is 650 studs
Vertically each shaft will be around 9k studs
little tangle
this is p big
