does any one know how to make animated heat waves like the ones you see coming off the street on a hot day? thanks for the help

hm eyah that's a good question

can either do it post..I'd guess Adobe after effects etc would have that as standard efect?

 

but in Vue.., hm..suggestion: make a plane, have caustic image or procedural alter its refraction index as animated over time? :)

You'll find a few ideas in the linked thread. To bring animation in to the equation, it should just be a matter of animating the material correctly.

i did somthing like that, but i animated a terain with the texture on it to make it move. it works ok, but if any body has anything better I would like to see it.

I know it's not animated but the principle is the same.

I used a transparent plane with no highlight, a slight index of refraction and a little bit of bump to distort the picture in the background... maybe you could animate the bump map  and get your wave that way ?

I'm pretty sure the trick here is to use an animated material.
I'm not proficient enough yet with Vue's material settings to give you any settings advice, but I'm sure everything needed is available.
One of the animated water or volume smoke materials ought to be a good starting point.
