I think Portals by design, are to be mysterious; but for a permanent portal. I think, take a screen shot of the area save it as a .dds and texture you portal with it throw some effects on it an you have a working static portal. Do that for both side and you have a 2-way portal. but that is a lot of work if you have 10-20 transitions per level.
You might be able to make one custom portal model, and change (screenshot) materials via script.
I think it would work but very cumbersome process to load the game take screen shot then convert to a mat i could see for few transition but for 10 - 20 lots of work. but should be doable...

Another alternative would be to make the portal opaque, but interactive [clickable]; and offer the player the option to peer into the portal. Then transition to a custom camera with texture and particle decorations, and the option to step into the portal. One could even play a brief video as a cloudy effect that diminishes to reveal the custom camera.

Isaac,
Could you point me to a post on how to implement a custom camera.
I would like to learn how to work with them.
TIA

This looks highly promising sajon. More ways of transitioning between levels is always welcome. Keep up the good work.

Step 1. have an object with a CameraComponent.
Step 2. call GameMode.setCamera([object]), where [object] is the id of the object with a CameraComponent.
The camera will then take on the position and rotation of said object.
To return to the default party camera, call GameMode.setCamera(nil).

There is also a very impressive camera demo found here:
