Glass Block
This filter cuts an object into a series of tiles and offsets the portion of the image within
each tile to create a duplicated pattern effect. The number of tiles into which the image
is broken, and the amount that each portion of the image is offset, can be customized.
This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups.

Glass Distortion
Simulates the effect of your object being deformed as it shows through a piece of glass.
An image well lets you assign an object to use as the pattern in the glass, using any image,
movie, or shape. Other parameters let you control the scale and amount of distortion.
When this filter is initially applied, Glass Distortion behaves as if there were a black image
applied to the Distort Input well, which will leave the target object unchanged.
To learn how to add an object to the Map Image well, see Source Well .
