My goodness, this is much more than I will ever be capable of mastering. To use the punn, This is "simply" beyond anything I could ever understand.
I hope I don't come across as a dork and I apologize for asking for something that I cannot give back although money is not out of the question. If there is anyone who is interested helping me I would seriously consider payment.
To explain a little more about what I would like to have. The heat haze as described in the tutorial is exactly what I am looking for. It has the correct texture and glossy look although making it just a little "dirtier" would be perfect. I then need to make it into a ".fx" file to be used in FSX. I do know to adjust the perameters once in the game as far as diameter, length, noise, etc.
Thank you very much so far----------chik
