# What materials are the Flowing water templates suitable for? What are the special parameters?

Flowing Water Material has 5 different templates. In addition to color, normal, specular, and transparency, support for adjusting the foam, flow velocity, offset parameters.

The UV module controls the flow direction and normal texture tiling of the water body, and when UV scaling is performed, the foam and normal bump effects will scale together.

> **The effect of the flowing water material is affected by the model's texture map and UVs.**&#x20;
>
> The UVs of the model itself should be continuous and square 1:1 maps are preferred.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.d5render.com/user-guide/material/what-materials-are-the-flowing-water-templates-suitable-for-what-are-the-special-parameters.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
