The colour and finish of the water itself.
Tints the whole body of water.

Large slow swells at low values, fine chop at high.
How much the surface bends what you see through it.
The bright web of light that gathers on the floor below.
The scale of the woven pattern on the floor.
Soft glow at low values, crisp filaments at high.
How strongly the pattern reads against the floor.
The pace of everything — ripples, light, settling.
How the water answers your hand.
Turn off to leave the water undisturbed.
How much force each gesture puts into the water.
The width of the area your hand disturbs.
The trail left behind a fast sweep.
How much a turning gesture spins the water.
How quickly the water returns to stillness.
Lower this if the motion stutters on your device.
