Is this possible?

by Mark Schmidt · in Torque Game Engine · 08/11/2001 (1:39 am) · 1 replies

I'm sure you've all seen the cool portal effect in Quake3 in which the object displays what it sees at the other end of the portal? Is this possible with the current state of V12, or is it something that would have to be added?

If so, can you project that portal image onto any shaped mesh (for instance a curved surface instead of just a rectangle)?

Thanks for any info,
-Mark

I don't think it's possible as is, but the portal engine does support mirrors (or used to anyway, have't tested that recently). It probably would not be hard to modify the mirror code to do the portal view that you suggest.
