Jul 2, 2021 at 18:54 comment added TheLabCat @RobinBetts Cool lens thing, which I might use for something else. Yes, flexibility is the problem. Thanks for trying. I do faintly remember something in the old blender internal engine where you could use another object viewpoint as a texture, and thus efficiently fake reflection, but of course that’s probably not in cycles. It seems that light probes do this automatically.
Jul 2, 2021 at 16:42 comment added Robin Betts I personally don't think OSL has anything to offer here, even if you go the (nutty) route of taking over all the shaders and casting all the secondary rays yourself. If you just diverted rays, you are in the territory of Rich Sedman's refraction methods? AFAIK the only reasonable route to getting one camera's view into another's at frame n is compositing, as here. The interesting problem is then how automatically to coordinate the camera(s) views in separate scenes, with minimum hassle.
