Step 21: You can influence the calm-

ness of the water by adjusting the Bump

texture properties to create different

frequencies of waves. Go to the Bump

setting in the Properties panel, click on

its pop-up menu once again, and this

time choose Edit UV Properties. Go to

the Scale settings, set the V/Y Scale to

50%, and click OK. This will compress

the texture vertically resulting in smaller

waves as you can see here. By setting

the number higher, you’ll enlarge the

texture, which results in larger, calmer

waves, as shown in the final image

below. (Don’t forget that you’ll need to

render each time you change a setting

to see the reflection.)
