No I rather mean that it's only a 2D structure not 3D. So you don't see
a difference in depth at all. Same effect when using sprites in early 3D
games. (like Doom) But that's only visible if you get close enough. But
the effect you descripe above is of course noticeable, too.

Not quite. your texturemap has to be a 2d turbulence. But to do that you
need a constant update of your texture.
