How to do a heat-haze effect in unity (FREE)?

But that question was asked by someone using Pro. I would assume that doing a heat-wave(distortion, haze, etc) would require some sort of image effect only available in Pro and not Indie?

you would be wrong. The fact is you can just parent a plane to the camera then add a material to that plane, to animate with the free version you can use a coroutine to cycle through a number of textures for it's material....

SirFail more like.

your comment was good, however the SirFail was pointless and turns what would be a helpfull comment bettering the comunity in general into the reason why unity answers is half a joke, i dont have the link on me but a fast google should find it but everyone needs to read that post on how we can all better unity answers

I totally agree.

• just wanted to point out however that this post is nearly 2 years old, how did you come across it? Edit : of course, a search! Derp, I assumed it was on the questions page as where I saw it after your response.

Sir Victory retains name and knighthood for maintaining cool !

Some suggestions to actually help - there are a few options : shaders, use a semi-transparent plane in front of the camera and modify the UVs, maybe even some clever use of 2 cameras

Just saw this. As for AngryOld$$anonymous$$an, wouldn't it seem reasonable to just answer the question rather to banter someone's assumption? :)
