In this video, I go around showing the portal effect
on various portals with custom skies. The last portal
I show has the same sky as the current realm I was
in, so I was showing how it "aligns".

You can see the realm's sky that belongs to this portal. The viewport
of the sky updates as you turn your head or look at it from a
different position.

I managed to do this using GLSL shaders, and by concurrently loading the
realm's sky into memory. Originally, I was going to scale down the skies as
cache to improve performance, but the impact on performance was minimal,
and it looked so amazing first try that I decided to leave it as is. It also
uses a surprisingly low amount of memory for such a large amount of
textures in memory; it uses only 100MB/1024MB in my realm with the largest
amount of portals with custom skies.

Hey, I wanted to show the newest portal styles in Timeway that I added not too long
ago, I think it's pretty neat! Here's a video of it in action:
