List of available Lens Shader
presets. Lens shaders are used when a primary ray is cast by the
camera. They may modify the ray's origin and direction to implement
cameras other than the standard pinhole camera and they may modify
the result of the primary ray to implement effects such as lens
flares or a cartoon effect.
