What you are seeing from this position is an illusion. The portal_sky texture is presenting the contents of a portsky blue room located: 11290.58, -7160.32, 691.39 : 35.76, -72.98, 0 In that room, the source texture for the water is: textures\water_source\cave_water_reflective_01 for some reason, the texture is using the scene the player is looking at rather than the scene from the portalsky blue room ( portalsky cam ). |

The current nested-views implementation only allows mirrors from player's view. Do we want mirrors in subviews as well (in this case in the skybox portal view)? Note: this may cause a hall-of-mirrors effect, with potential freezes. |

Yes, we would want mirror rendering in a portalsky room (as was the case before 2.06.) Mirrors within the Portalsky should only reflect visuals available to the portsky cam (eg. only geometry inside the portalsky room). To my knowledge mirror textures "shouldn't" be related to portalsky rendering at all (though they are architecturally similar). They should get their own render pass and viewdef. Now, if someone was foolish enough to place a portsky texture inside a portsky room... then that would be nesting and at risk for HOM effects (etc). In the case where a portalsky cam is looking at a portalsky texture we would want the game to render black (etc). |
