This effect helps you to render perspective views in scenes with a very large field of view. Panini projection is a cylindrical projection, which means that it keeps vertical straight lines straight and vertical. Unlike other cylindrical projections, panini projection keeps radial lines through the center of the image straight too.

| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Distance | Use the slider to set the strength of the distortion. |
| Crop to Fit | Use the slider to crop the distortion to fit the screen. A value of 1 crops the distortion to the edge of the screen, but results in a loss of precision in the center if you set Distance to a high value. |
