# Sci-FI Portals - Pro

### Overview

Building on the seamless teleportation features of the [standard SciFi Portal package](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/scifi-portals-seamless-teleportation-284966),which is also included in this package, this extension introduces three 3D portal models and two new shaders to enhance your game’s futuristic aesthetics even more. One standout model includes an interactive energy cube, allowing players to activate and deactivate the portal for dynamic gameplay. The functional upgrades in the pro version include recursive rendering and optimized portal screen rendering.

**Key features:**

**Recursive Rendering**

Build infinite loops out of two portals with the recursive rendering feature. Simply add two portals that face each other and specify the recursive rendering limit and you are ready to go<br>
