How would you go about creating a portal-like effect?

Hello! I was curious as to how you would go about creating a portal effect, where when you look in the portal, the camera shows the other end of the portal, in 3d. Thanks

EgoMoose has done something like this in the past and it’s been refined and used in atleast one game I know of since. Might be a good place to start.

Re-Creating a Portal Effect,

Last post of the night I promise! Since the discussion was in regards to creating a portal effect like in the game “Portal” I figured I’d lazily throw something together: https://doy2mn9upadnk.cloudfront.net/uploads/default/original/4X/8/e/0/8e014b634b2cc2c9a83fae0f748197ddb7a825dc.mp4 This is more a demo of the visual than it is the ability to actually walk through the portals.
