Why is there no Terrain Texture for water?

Hey everyone, I was using the beta feature called “Material Manager”, and it has many terrain textures, all of the normal ones… except water. Why is this?

Roblox water involves physics, so i dont believe it has a texture applied… you can alter its physics by changing its color, wave speed and wave amount.

Edit: please see @A_SquaredAnimations reply below for a much clearer, better, and accurate response.

not really, it actually has texture combined with wave physics

It does. It uses 25 Normal/Roughness maps that it switches between to create an extra wave effect.

No you can’t. This only changes the appearance of the water.

The waves themselves don’t have physics. It’s just the water geometry warping to give the appearance of waves.
