VectorDistortion

Overview

What VectorDistortion does

VectorDistortion interprets image channels or dedicated Vector X/Vector Y data as a displacement field. It is useful for refraction, heat haze, technical motion-vector warps and effects where every part of the image should move differently.

When to use it

Create heat-haze distortion
Apply motion-vector displacement
Build refraction effects
Use rendered vector passes
Create animated map-driven warps
Transfer texture motion
