The future of 5D space

Posted By: ehyto Date: 9/18/25 11:05 a.m.

I've researched the different kinds of portal rendering and the future of 5D space is valve's portal 2 world portals.
5D space is portal rendering.
Visible sectors can be precomputed with the portal and camera rendering an overlapping space.
The program would check what sector the player is in and renders the sectors that are visible from that location.
It knows the draw order of the visible sectors and it's faster precomputed.
Everything would be normal space with the portals bringing far away areas together.
Normal space is easier for collision detection.
I think no one has created a sector based portal rendering program with this technique that's like Marathon.
