Kaleidoscope
This filter simulates the effect of looking at an image through a kaleidoscope. It is not
automatically animated, but by animating the Offset Angle parameter you can simulate
the effect of twisting the kaleidoscope’s knob to rotate the image pattern.
Parameters in the Inspector
Center: Sets the position of the center of the kaleidoscope.
Segment Angle: Sets the width of the tiles. Values range from 0 to 360.
Offset Angle: Sets the amount the tiles are offset from one another. Values range from
0 to 360.
Partial Segments: Toggles allowing partial segments to complete the radius of the
kaleidoscope. When turned off, segments may be distorted in order to map them
across the radius of the kaleidoscope with facets of equal size.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the Segment Angle and Offset Angle controls.
