Heat Engine

This collection of shaders enables you to create several types of jet engines with realistic heat distortion effects compatible with both Eevee and Cycles rendering engines in Blender. The shaders are procedurally generated, giving you control over key parameters such as thrust, distortion, and scale to customize the appearance and behavior of your engines.

The setup comes fully animated and ready for immediate use. Simply adjust the thrust parameter and your engine is ready to lift off, making implementation straightforward even for quick iterations. The procedural nature of the shaders means you can adjust multiple aspects of the engine’s appearance and performance without manually rebuilding complex node networks.
