Water Shader
    
    
The Water Shader plug-in simulates a water surface.    
    
        
    
Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Shader -> Effects
Water Shader Properties
-     
Bump Height: Sets the height of the bump map.
 -     
Bump Speed: Moves the bump map of the surface. Useful to simulate a current.
 -     
Bump Scale: Scales the bump map.
 -     
Wave Frequency: Sets the frequency of the wave.
 -     
Wave Amplitude: Sets the amplitude of the wave.
 -     
Wave Speed: Defines the big waves of the water. You need geometry with many vertices to get smooth waves.
 -     
Environment Map: Defines the texture which is reflected in the water. If no texture is applied, the shader uses a default texture. The size of the environment map should be kept low (512x512 max), because it can consume a lot of texture memory.
 -     
Deep Water: Sets the color of deep water.
 -     
Shallow Water: Sets the color of shallow water.
 -     
Reflection: Sets the color of the reflections.
Note: The blending of deep and shallow water depends on the angle of the camera and how it looks at the water.
 -     
Water Amount: Controls how the deep and shallow color affects the look of the water.
 -     
Reflection Amount, Bias, Power and Multiplier: Controls the reflection.
 -     
Blend Texture: Allows you to blend the texture of the container into the water.
