Heathaze Post process

AslanTech

Hello, I've managad to setup a heat haze post process effect. But I've been wanting it to combine it with UDKs DOF features.

the question is how do i set it so that the haze effects appears where the Focus distance value starts?

If there is a way to set up a basic Dof in my material, so i can control it from there. I would love to get some directions on it.

Thanks in advance,

AslanTech

scratch that, I solved it.

Maybe tell others how you solved it, so people searching and finding this thread don't go away unhappy.

The problem lied in me being tired and working late, really....-.-

I had forgotten that my Depth Mask in my material clamped between min:0.125 to max:1 and not from 0 to 1, which made the heat haze effect always appear even close to the camera.

This will be a temporary fix, for now. i'm still thinking about combining it with DOF, but still not sure how that's going to workout yet.

I used this as a guide for my current Post Process material.
