Title: [RESOLVED] Portals Best Practice: multi-portal?
Post by: cjwidd on 2020-01-07, 22:06:54

Please see attached

The green object consists of two non-contiguous planar faces (two polygons) with a portal material applied.

Is it better to create two separate objects, each with a separate portal material, or is the depicted configuration appropriate?

Pardon my inquiry, the question is if it's better to have two separate planes with applied different portal-mat, instead of two merged planes with one?

I've inquired this before.

Apparently either option is fine.

@Aaouviz: Thanks :)

Also make sure your portal plane has zero thickness and preferably non-2sided flat box.
