how to create heat haze?

[hanasand]

Well, normally I think this would be done with a displacement map of fire or smoke using After Effects or something.

Alternatively you could use this (http://www.the3dstudio.com/(wfj4hu55h3gcmgblczlnotfe)/tutorials.aspx?id_tutorial=108) cheesy bullet-time/trail tutorial to create the heat haze you are looking for. It's better suited for creating heat haze than a bullet trail if you ask me. :)

I've always been fond of dvGarage's (http://www.dvgarage.com/) Attention to Detail tutorial on adding animated heat ripples (http://www.dvgarage.com/garage/a2d/tut/tutpast/tutpast_view/tutpast_view.php?tutdate=01_09_15&renders=5&projectfiles=no).
