Fisheye Perspective Curves are segments of Perfect Circles
Krita's Fisheye Assistant is using the wrong kind of curves.
The Fisheye Assistant is currently using ellipses for its curves. However, a
proper Fisheye Perspective can only be achieved by using segments of perfect
circle. In fact, Krita's Curvlinear Perspective Rulers is doing this the
correct way -- it makes sense too -- Fisheye perspective is just an application
of Curvlinear Perspective.
Although the effects of using ellipses and perfect circles might look similar,
ellipses only works for projecting spherical objects on a flat screen -- for
example, a photo of a globe. As such, it can only loosely mimic 1-point
dead-center Fisheye Perspective. If we increase the center points for more
complicated Fisheye Perspectives, this misuse of curves will prevent people to
understand how things works, and things fall apart.
A will attach a proper Fisheye Perspective guideline for reference.
