Case

I followed this outdated tutorial to create an effect that I want (being able to see a completely different world through an object (a shield in this case). I got this to work in blender 2.8+.

The problem is that I have to render in cycles due to some nodes being used and these are only available in cycles. At the moment blender renders all 3 layers and smacks them together to generate the desired result which takes 3x as long. so my question is:

  1. How can I preview this effect without having to render it?
  2. How can I tell blender to only render 1 layer to preview other effects?

Here are some screenshot of my project, hope it helps.

Nodes I am using

Shiled being used as mask Shiled being used ask mask

other dimension I want to capture by watching through the shield other dimension I want to capture by watching through the shield
