Glass Hemisphere

The Glass Hemisphere transformation displays the fractal as though it is 

viewed through a spherical lens.

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:

Specifies the refractive index of the lens. You can use this to simulate 

various glass like materials. Larger values will increase the strength of 

Refractive index

the lens.

Specifies the width of the lens in fractal coordinates.

Width

Specifies the coordinates of the center of the lens. Use the 

eyedropper

(right click and click Eyedropper) to select the center by clicking inside 

Center

the fractal window.

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 

Use Screen Center

zooming in.
