NOTE Opposite sides of the deflectors reverse the distortion effect. Thus, a refracted
particle passing through the SOmniFlect hits its outside surface first, and then its
inside surface. A positive Distortion value warps the particles toward the
perpendicular; then, as the particles pass through the inside surface, the same
positive Distortion value warps them toward the parallel.

Procedures
To create an SOmniFlect space warp:
1
On the Create panel, click Space Warps. Choose Deflectors
from the list, then on the Object Type rollout, click SOmniFlect.
2 Drag in a viewport to create the spherical icon.
NOTE Because particles bounce off the icon, the size of the icon affects
particle deflection.
