"Portal 2 gives players the ability to paint surfaces in order to alter their properties [...] Because of the fluid (and messy) nature of the paint, maps very quickly change from clean and tidy to chaotic and mottled."

So does this mean dynamic water is confirmed for the Source Engine? :D

You are able to paint some special walls in Garry's Mod already.

Yeah but that's just applying decals to the wall. So it's just like shooting the wall, which is making bullet hole decals.

The way they are wording this is as if you will actually be able to pour paint over walls (Hence them saying it's fluid and messy).

Well, in order for them to interact with portals, they will almost have to be dynamic and fluid, otherwise, it would look very strange.

"ability to paint surfaces in order to alter their properties"
Reminds me of an indie game where you do just that. 1 color makes the speed boost and another makes you jump.
Can't remember its name though.

Tag: The Power of Paint.

I don't know that I'd call it "independent"...it was a senior project at Digipen.

I was wondering about that too, but it was the "Best Student Game" at Independent Games Festival in 2009.

Well, the paint in TAG looks like normal decals with some extra stuff added, but not much dynamic fluids and stuff.

The game is short but sweet. I'm really looking forward to seeing paint in Portal 2.

But the thing is, the only way it seems you'll be able to manipulate this paint is by redirection via portal. But who knows, really.

I just played, and beat paint, it was pretty awesome, i guess it will be cool having paint in portal 2, as long as they use it correctly :P

I downloaded it, but there is no flow or walls. I can not see the paint gun, the paint on the walls, I can only see some random objects in the background and the goal. What is wrong?

Oh I'm loving this game. Hell, even painting the menu (http://images.matt-russell.com/Tag_Screenshot_4.png) screen is fun!

My only problem is I get 2 FPS on it, so it's pretty hard.

Tag's pretty funny like that. On one PC I tried, I couldn't complete the last level as the pistons were missing.

No. This can easily be done with coding, decals, and particles.
