heat ripple
Hi everyone—
What’s the best way to do a heat ripple (i.e. slightly distort an object with that kind of blur/motion you see on a very hot day). Would you use fractal noise?
Thanks so much!

Yup, use a comp containing a fractal noise layer as the map for the displacement map effect …
… which is found in the Pro version.

or the effect distort -> turbulent displace does it in one go

Thanks so much you guys!
I was going to use the fractal noise and displacement map, but I’ll try it both ways now and see what works better for me.
I really appreciate the input.

If you can afford it, or have the time to play with demos, then the “Tinderbox 1” set of plugins has a heathaze effect which is just gorgeous, I use it a lot. The settings can be tweaked to give a wide variety of effects including fabric rippling in a breese, not just heat haze.
