Question on exit portals

Is it possible to put an exit portal around a whole model? I mean: would it be useful to put your model inside an 'exit portal box'?

Just seems handy to me.

An box out of exit portal would work the same way like basic background lightning, giving you 0% of speed up! (perhaps even slowdowns?!)
The Idea behind exit portals is to reduce the 360° light incoming, and focus it to the points where its needed (holes, windows etc.)

I'm not sure you understood exit portal, so do your homework and read this paper: http://www.fryrender.com/sh_images/tuts ... ortals.pdf

Thank you for the info. I could've done without the "do your homework" remark, though. Why don't you do some homework on bringing a point across in a civilised manner?

Nevertheless - thanks for the link. Should be an interesting read.

Oi, you with the attitude! That tut rocks!

The other ones on the Fry site too, btw. Interesting stuff.
