Built-in texturing gives you control over the look of your fluids, while the texture and shading features of Fluid Effects extend the use of fluids for a whole different range of effects. You can:

• Add texture to fluids using the texturing capabilities of the built-in shader.
• Create 2D and 3D fluid textures.
• Create fluid shaders and assign them to volume primitives.
• Use fluids as particle shaders.

Fluid Effects also includes an Ocean texture and Ocean shader for open water effects. See Open water effects.
