SpeedSix.HeatHaze   (Discreet Box20)



PURPOSE

Produces the effect of a hot, hazy day, adding heat shimmers to the image. Viewing objects in the distance, the air currents disturb your vision, giving a quivering and wobbly appearance to the details of the scene.

INPUT CLIPS

 1: Background : The heat will affect this clip.
 2: ROI Matte : The extent of the heat haze can be modulated by the intensity of this clip.



HeatHaze   CONTROL PAGE

Display  (List Box  Options: Heat Map | Result, Default: Result)
Heat Map: Display the heat map.
Result: Display the image with the heathaze effect added.
Atmos Detail  (Number  Min: 1.0, Max: 10.00, Default: 1.50)
     Determines the detail of the turbulence structure. The higher the value, the finer the detailing, but it takes longer to process so it is recommended to use the default setting.

Atmos Contrast  (Number  Min: -100.0, Max: 100.00, Default: 0.0)
     Controls the contrast of the turbulence, enhancing the light to dark ratio.

Atmos Density  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 500.0, Default: 100.0)
     Brightens or darkens the resulting turbulant texture.

Smoothly  (Checkbox  Default: Off)
     Toggles the use of smoothing in the effect to minimise any pixelation at the cost of render time.

Atmos Seed  (Number  Min: 1, Max: 999, Default: 797)
     Changes the pattern of the heat haze.

Atmos Detail X  (Number  Min: 0.01, Max: 1000.00, Default: 40.00)
Atmos Detail Y  (Number  Min: 0.01, Max: 1000.00, Default: 80.00)
     Sets the structure of the turbulence. The higher the values, the more densely packed the turbulence becomes. The relationship between the X and Y stretches the turbulence in either direction.

Flutter X  (Number  Min: 0.000, Max: 100.000, Default: 20.000)
Flutter Y  (Number  Min: 0.000, Max: 100.000, Default: 10.000)
     Exaggerates the movement within the background clip created by the turbulence map. Changing these controls also gives directionality to the turbulence.

Use Matte  (Checkbox  Default: Off)
     Toggles the use of the matte during the processing to limit and modulate the heathaze, limiting to a chosen area.

Atmos Rate X  (Number  Min: -100.000, Max: +100.000, Default: 2.000)
Atmos Rate Y  (Number  Min: -100.000, Max: +100.000, Default: 10.000)
Atmos Rate Z  (Number  Min: -100.000, Max: +100.000, Default: 25.000)
     Sets the amount of movement of the heat haze.

Trim  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 50.0, Default: 5.0)
     Ignores the image outside the trim zone to minimise dross at image extremes.
