    Is a grayscale image that displays the highest points as bright pixels and the lowest points as dark pixels. Use this view when creating a displacement map.

    Wireframe Preview

    Provides a visual depiction of how the wave is being created. The grayscale output represents a height map: White represents the highest possible wave, and black represents the lowest. The two rectangular outlines represent these two extremes: The cyan rectangle represents pure white, and the violet rectangle represents pure black. The green grid represents the ground layer; it is flat by default but can be distorted by using a grayscale image. The white grid represents the surface of the water.
