I still prefer "portal", it is more descriptive of what the pigment does 
than "transwarp". An object with this pigment will act like a portal to 
another part of space.

A couple other possibilties:
wormhole
mirage
gateway
space_time_bending_thingammajiggy_pigment :-)

One thing that might be even more interesting would be a pigment that 
takes a scene file as a parameter. Both scene files would be parsed, and 
a ray could travel from one scene into the other through objects with 
the portal pigment. Of course, this would require extensive 
modifications to the code, and wouldn't be much more useful(if at all) 
than just one scene.
