Thanks Chris,

Do you mean that you made a smaller scene behind the doorway, arranged just
so that the edges are not protruding around the edges of the door?

I had considered doing something like this, but wasn't sure whether it was
worth fiddling with the positions like that. I am a pretty messy world
designer and I end up moving around a lot before I settle on a good
position to shoot from.

Your post has made me think maybe a variant on your suggestion might be the
way to go. As I'm wanting to use a sphere as the portal I might just make
the other scene inside the sphere, and just try to give the appearance of a
whole other world. The trick is going to be avoiding the
little-world-in-a-snowy-paperweight look.

Thanks, and best wishes,
