Reminds me of this bit from the onion

 

Good fire. How would we add some heat distortion to that?

[Bruce Del Porte]

Thanks guys,

 

The bit from the Onion is close to what I was thinking but too much to animate in a day (or year for that matter), so yes, use your imagination with the Onion as your guide. I tried doing some gradient blurring in post to get a heat effect, subtle, not really satisfactory. Maybe a lensing sprite of some sort although I shutter at the render times? A thought problem for next time.

You're particle effects always look good. That fire looks like something out of a french impressionist painting. I hope you're lending your particle expertise to TWO.

here's an old test i did by modeling some distortion glass to pass in front of the camera.

but what we really need is some effect that can work in conjunction with a depth buffer to vary the effect depending on distance from the camera.
