Desert heat haze effect

How do you achieve a convincing desert heat haze/shimmer effect in Gimp? Photoshop tutorials I'm finding use the glass filter and I'm unsure what the equivalent is in Gimp.

Try using the ripple filter and motion blur in combination.

This my attempt using Gimp 2.10.0 - easier to show filter effects as settings change but same if Gimp 2.8 is used.

Not too good, but might get you started.

There is a textured glass filter in the gmic plugin see www.gmic.eu

maybe apply that, then a small amount of blur.

Not bad at all. I ended up using Ripple, followed by lWarp to break up the evenness in ripple and then a small amount of Gaussian Blur - it did what I needed, which was more of an illustration. I think your approach is much better for something photographic. Many thanks.

Will have a look at this as well, thanks.
