Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope mirrors the source into radial segments, then rotates, zooms, and pans the sampled pattern.

How-to

Starting Workflow for Kaleidoscope Effect

  1. Step 1

    Choose Segments first; it defines the character of the pattern.

  2. Step 2

    Use Rotation and Zoom to animate or reframe the pattern.

  3. Step 3

    Use Pan X and Pan Y to move the sampled center away from the default source position.
