(WASD camera control) (Construct .993)
Distort map is "Negative shift" only (Below zero in mesh editor) then using Sprite Z elevation to bring it closer to the camera. The issue i'm seeing is pretty obvious - theres a popping of the distorted sprites that seems to occur when the center of the distorted mesh is too far out of the view frustum of the camera.

Wasn't sure if it was working as intended or not - view frustum culling is really common for render engines.
