I've modelled a pair of lens' from a desk magnifier set.
The lens' are the approx. shape and size and the material set for glass (polycarbonate looks better)so they look fine in the model, but, wouldn't it be COOL if during an animation during a pan over the focal point, that the image was magnified/distorted.
I could probably turn a distorted image on a some point in the animation, but i don't think it would look right during a panning action.
Anyhoo, any ideas anyone??
thanx!

Inventor "should" render and bend the light correctly to achieve your magnified look automatically when viewing objects through the lens. I've seen a render of a spoon in a glass that looked correct (bent light,etc..)
