This also can be aplided to single frame renders. Just trying to help a great model look it's best.
The "warp effect" I believe you are talking about is not rendered. It is created in GIMP. I can probably put a little more saturation into the effect (it was intended to by more of a sky-blue) when I create the FX layer
