keep on the awesome work - and post some examples if you want...

sure allready working on it xD

What you could do, too: Move some of the vertices of the portal. Just a little bit in z-dirction, with a sin function, too. It should give you a slightly distorted view.
You can create stunning effects, if you use vertex animation.

yeah i was thinking about deforming it like a half ball to the inside too. might try that, thanks ^^

uff, i finally got the portals to work with the cam :x i got some problems that it moves correct but now it works perfect.

if someone is interested:

i have to place 2 of these portals to make it work. you can look from one side to the other. im working on a scene to demonstrate it with a seamless port through it. i will post another video when im done :x

...still the most impressive technique in the forum (IMHO).

w00t thanks a lot for this super nice comment

Hey Kihaku, that's a really nice portal effect. But I was wondering if you could show how you have done the moving view effect. I mean the effect that if you turn to the right the portal view also turns. Ányway your portal model is great and I'm looking forward tot the scene.
Thanks

I think he turns the angle of the view-cam with the players angle (position) to the portal (contrariwise)

when im done with the scene and the passing through the portal part, i could release the code. but righ tnow, i want to keep it for myself, sorry :x
