Lens distortion.

Push or pull an image into a barrel or pincushion lens treatment.

A regular grid moves from barrel to pincushion curvature. Lens Distortion changes the optical mapping around a fixed centre; the original line geometry and typography remain independent.

A prompt to start from

Use Tesseract. Create an eight-second Tesseract optical study with a wide Sea line grid on Charcoal. Place the neutral white Exposure headline above the grid. Animate actual Lens Distortion from neutral into barrel curvature, then gently through neutral toward pincushion curvature. Preserve readable typography and safe margins. Keep all original grid paths fixed and editable.

Tesseract plugins and runtime downloads are coming soon.

Where does the video render?
