Heat Haze straight from render?

[Morne]

Hi all

Currently I create heat haze with a seperate Pflow render, then overlay that in my compositor and using various lens effects, blurs etc I create heat haze. Can Phoenix do this straight out of a render or would I still need to fake/cheat things in post?

Heat haze (MXS: heathaze, hhfactor) – Traces the ray changing its direction according to the gradient of the effects channel. Value=1 corresponds approximately to the normal heat haze in air caused by the temperature. If smoke or other channel is selected as source, you have to use bigger multiplier to achieve visible result.
