How to make the Skybox visible only through a window?

Question

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to make the skybox visible only through a window like object?

I'm trying to make a portal kind of thing with ARKit.

I'm using Depth mask to hide the objects behind

So it actually looks like this

The problem here is, the AR Camera needs to be cleared with depth only and so the skybox inside the portal is not visible.

After passing through the portal I can make the camera to clear skybox but before entering into the portal I need to see the skybox.

Is there any way to make the skybox visible with shaders or somehow?

I hope you understand my question.

Thank you

Thank you for your response. But I don't want to use Render Texture as it needs a second camera or if we use a normal image it doesn't looks realistic. So I just need a shader which can show custom skybox ins$$anonymous$$d of regular skybox.

Then there is nothing else I can help you with, I know very few about shader and skybox. Good luck solving that out.

Use skybox in the camera, and select the one you need in the render texture

I just noticed the question is from 2017. For anyone looking for a solution to these you add the shader material to a plane and make it seem like its a "window" then you can fade the plane out when you pass through it or something similar.
