    Hi all, Has anyone seen a tutorial, or have successfully been able to produce this effect. I’m wanting to use it for a hot road desert scene, distorting an oncoming car in the distance.

    Thanx for reading,
    Carson

    You could do this with a displacement map driven by the noise generator. The trick is to make the noise movement emulate heat raising. I would get some footage of real heat rising off of the road to use as a guide in creating this effect.
