You can easily do that in code. > > Second, can two portals that "view" into each other be different sizes, and > if so, with the view scale? What do you mean by 'viewing' into each other exactly? A portal is a polygon on which the contents of another sector is rendered. Not sure how this fits in your question. > > For instance, let say I have two portals.

The size that the other portal will have depends on where it is located in the other sector. If it is far away from the first portal it will be small. > > Or in practical terms, could I create a room that is filled with regularly > sized chairs, tables, etc, and when viewed from inside the room they are > human size, and viewed from outside the window (a portal), it would seem > miniature? With some portal tricks (like space warping) you can probably do that.
