Waves
 
 
 

Simulates water or wave effects.

The Waves map generates a number of spherical wave centers and randomly distributes them over a sphere. It is often used as the Bump map to simulate the surface of a body of water. You can control the number of wave sets, the amplitude, and the speed of the waves. This map works effectively as both a diffuse and bump map at the same time. It can also be useful in combination with an opacity map.
