Zones/Portals

More of I need to create a basic zone and send it to someone, but I am curious if this has received a pass as there are some rather large bugs with this.

1. If you are looking from zone to zone with a portal in 3rd person and the camera intersects into the center of a portal it tends to occlude one of the zones improperly.
2. We are seeing some odd issues with Player/ShapeBase objects. If you are in a zone looking out a portal you can see them fine. If you are outside of the zone looking through a Portal they do not render. You can see all of the object static objects in the scene, just not the dynamically loaded object.
