I was just gonna mention that - using different "melting points" you do a zoom-in/down to the surface in your compositing app which is easier than in Vue.

Though you can create all needed materials in Vue to later assemble in your compositing app (After Effects, Nuke, Fusion, Shake, Motion, etc.).

Videocopilot.net has a good tut on how to do this as well - but it's in AE.
