- Angle of view
-
Camera angle of view (0 - 180°)
- Curvature
-
The Spherical cap angle, as a fraction of the complement angle of view. The result is less domed as the curvature decreases from 1 to 0.
- Amount
-
Interesting for negative values, which result in a hollow instead of a bump (from 1.000 to -1.000).
- Resampling method
-
These interpolation methods are described in Interpolation.
