Can I render a camera In a part in workspace?

[Nolas154_YT (Swarkin)]

Is it possible to place a camera somewhere in the workspace and render the camera’s output on a part also in workspace?

I don’t got what you mean by that
You want your camera to be positioned at the part in the workspace?

If yes, then heres a little example:
insert a script (local script) and type the following code

local cameraPart = workspace.CameraPart -- the part where you want camera position to be
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable -- makes camera not movable and makes it scriptable for the developers
camera.CFrame = cameraPart.CFrame -- Sets the camera position (includes height), rotation to the part's position/rotation.

To add to this, setting camera.CameraType once may fail, you should keep retrying until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable returns true.

@NyrionDev

To add to this, setting camera.CameraType once may fail, you should keep retrying until

repeat 
  task.wait()
  camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

I meant that I want to make realistic portals that I can see trough, like in portal2
That’s why I want to render a camera’s output on a part

[Synitx (syn)]

ahh so realtime portal? that can show the other side in the real time
just like that vivian’s game?

[Nolas154_YT (Swarkin)]

I don’t know what vivian’s game is, but yes that’s what I’m trying to achieve

[HedTB_Dev]

I’m pretty you could use SufaceGuis and ViewportFrames to achieve this.

Re-Creating a Portal Effect,

To put it simply, this video goes over what Im trying to achieve. I understand how its done, but can’t seem to replicate the effect myself. Here’s the link. I already am aware of how to store velocity and what not, I have a base portal animation, I just can’t seem to re-create it correctly, I’ve tried messing and researching on viewportframes but it dosent seem to be doing what Im trying to create, I can’t even go further into my game until I finish this part first. Thank you for your time.

Also, you may want to check ViewportFrames

The resource egomoose sent isn’t greatly optimized, but @Nolas154_YT you can give it a try.
It can be really laggy for low end devices so make sure to optimize it properly.

Polling is sub-optimal, that practice is far too frequent.

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
if not camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Fixed then
	camera:GetPropertyChangedSignal("CameraType"):Wait()
end
print("Hello world!")
