Tornado portals

[Oklahoman]

I'm wondering if anyone has a creative way to make a portal look like a tornado? Obviously, in my Oklahoma themed base, that would be great.

 

The best I can do so far is just a standard swirling portal. I tried turning it horizontal, thinking maybe I could add some SFX under it, but then the portal didn't seem to work at all.

 

Thanks!

There's a VFX item I believe it's called Hortha Funnel that might work.  It's got a tornado-ish look to it, but IIRC it has a weird mystical sound effect.  Might give that a try.  You can try hiding an Interdimensional Shard teleporter found under Tech Teleport inside it.

Zac's idea is good; you could add some swirling debris from fx as well to give it more of a tornado feel. I'd also go thru all the fx to see if any appeal to your particular aesthetics more. Directional fogcan work well....this was done by another player.
