Using Filters
Insect Eye
Maps a repeating hexagonal distortion pattern to an image, mimicking the POV of an
insect. This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups.
Parameters in the Inspector
Size: Sets the size of the hexagons, in pixels. Values range from 8 to 128.
Refraction: Sets the amount of distortion present in each hex. Values range from 0 to 4.
Border: Sets the width, in pixels, of the border of each hex. Values range from 0 to 8.
Border Color: Picks the color of the border of the hexagons. Use the disclosure triangle
to display Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders, for more precise color selection.
Mix: Sets what percentage of the original image is blended with the filtered image.
Values range from 0 to 100%.
HUD Controls
The HUD contains the same controls as the Inspector, with the exception of the Mix
control.
Mirror
By default, this filter splits an image in half vertically, and reverses the remaining half to
create a reflection. The center point and angle of this split point can be customized.
This filter is excellent for recreating the magic of 1980s music videos.
