Heat Effect?

Hi.

I’ve been playing with the shaders feature in the recent daily builds and have something similar. Still some kinks to work out, most of them probably easy, and then maybe I’ll put it up on the code exchange. Annoyingly, the shader needs some idea of where the center of the object is, so that has to be explicitly specified per object.

Maybe I can do an overlay variant, too, so one could do “windows” or whatever.

@StarCrunch

That would be awesome

Hi dylestorm.

I’ve worked out the snags and maybe I’ll have it up later tonight, once I get some cleaned-up examples in order.

(This stuff does need a fairly recent daily build. I’ve been playing with one from just a few days back.)

Here you go: heat haze

I find a low “extend”, and various values of “frequency”, give good results.

I just gave it a test and wow! That is really awesome 

Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Hi.

I finally got around to testing these on a device and discovered that some precision qualifiers were necessary to actually work there. I’ve updated the Gists accordingly.
