Glass Hemisphere
The Glass Hemisphere transformation displays the fractal as though it is viewed through a spherical lens. It is available as a transformation in Standard.uxf and as a transformation plug-in in Standard.ulb.
The location, size, and apparent refractive index of the lens can be changed. The refractive index adjusts the strength of the lens.
The following parameters are available:
Refractive index |
Specifies the refractive index of the lens. You can use this to simulate various glass-like materials. Larger values will increase the strength of the lens. |
Width |
Specifies the width of the lens in fractal coordinates. |
Center |
Specifies the coordinates of the center of the lens. Use the eyedropper (right-click and click Eyedropper) to select the center by clicking inside the fractal window. |
Use Screen Center |
If checked, the center of the screen is used instead of the Center parameter, so the lens is always centered on the screen, even when zooming in. |
