Interesting.. So basically it displaces the source to another point, so 
that renderings there are copied directly to the 'view' you are mapping 
it too, right? So animations would work as well, like a bird that flies 
'between' the two scenes and through the portal? (Of course that would be 
two identical birds you animate the same way, which could get 
complicated...)

Can't wait until I am fairly sure you have a reasonably stable version 
that works with the 3.6 engine, so I can have something else I can look 
at and go, "Dang, too bad I don't have the talent to take advantage of 
that." lol
