Here is a YafaRay4tS "Portal Material" scene
Take a look at the Portal Material Plane material
I added a TextureAlphaShader that makes the Portal Material transparent
You can still display the color by enabling Alpha Test = As Opaque
I am proposing that you add the TextureAlphaShader to your Portal Material

Transparency without using a blank texture.
Clearly marked as "D3D Preview" since it does not affect the render.

Got it, thank you
I removed the "Export aspect" from the ConstantAlphaShader Default aspect since the transparency value is already available on the D3D material panel
Add Library Description
Y4tSv.0.9.9
Cast light from object Normals
Samples lighting color from the
Background light

Does this material Cast Shadows?

It should have the same characteristics as whatever light it lets in. The material is not a light. It's more like a window for existing lighting.
