Lens Pro 3 helps you create various lenses, crystals and glass surfaces. This plug-in offers numerous effects for making glass objects and patterns from them. Every glass object of the set contains many adjustable parameters.

Adjusting the shape parameters will help you draw lenses and crystals of all sorts of designs. In addition to the preset lens shapes, you can customize the shapes of lenses and crystals by selecting an area of that shape or downloading any shape from standard 3DS or VRML files. Adjust the optic properties of glass and luminosity of lenses, add a reflection such as clouds, faces or inscriptions to make the lens look more realistic.

The particle system mechanism creates complex patterns and backgrounds with lenses and crystals of various shapes and colors. The glass objects can be scattered or put into a pattern. You can adjust size, color, proportions, placement and many other parameters.

Special effects like gradual growing, explosion or breaking into pieces and others can be used for 3D crystal objects. Adjust the parameters of explosion strength, chaos and turbulence of glass pieces, gravity, the direction and strength of the wind, etc. For example, your object can gradually fall apart under the force of the wind and the fallen pieces can continue to whirl in a tornado.

Lens Pro 3's interface has been streamlined and optimized for effeciency. Group or hide any unneeded parameters and change both the value and the range of values of the parameters.

Lens Pro 3 Features

Types Of Lenses:

Ellipse Lens: The classic circle lens. By using this lens you can easily and quickly create a circle or ellipse lens of any kind and shape with various optical parameters.
Square Lens: The classic rectangular lens. The effect lets you create any lens in the shape of rectangle with numerous parameters,which adjust shape, optics and color properties of lens.
Torus Lens: Create a lens in the shape of torus with a large range of adjustable parameters. The shape of torus varies from a simple circle to a torus of any shape, orientation and scale.
Border Lens: Easily and quickly creates rectangular border lenses. You can edit the proportion and width of the borders.
Droplet Lens: This lens allows you to complete your image with drops flowing down on the wet glass or with crystal tears shed from your hero's eyes. You can edit the shape of the tip of the droplet.
Clam Lens: Many forms of lenses are available, from the classic circle lens to very complex shapes such as a star lens with curved tops.
Rose Lens: Many forms of lenses are available from the classic circle lens to very complex such as rose lens with curved tops.

Types Of Crystals:

Cube Crystal: A cube shaped 3D crystal, which can be transformed and rotated.
Prism Crystal: A 3D crystal in the shape of prism that can be transformed and rotated.
Pyramid Crystal: This is a 3D crystal in the shape of triangular pyramid. The crystals can be transformed and rotated.
Diamond Crystal: A 3D crystal in the shape of cut diamond..User can set the number of facets,distance between center and border and type of facets cutting.
Star Crystal: A 3D crystal in the shape of polygonal crystal. Its facets and vertexes may transform the crystal into a star.User can set the number of facets,distance between center and border and type of facets cutting.
Resolit Crystal: A 3D crystal in the shape of a cube with a cut geometric pattern. User can obtain many unusual crystals by adjusting its parameters. The vertexes and facets of the crystal can be easily transformed by user.
