Is it possible to add texture to water?

is there a way to add a little bit of noise/displacement in the water surface so its not so smooth like gel? i get a little bit of it in Arnold but want more. I see too much of it in Keyshot. So im trying to find out how i can add more to taste.

like this is stock video you can see ripples with in the splash.

Rendered in Maya with Arnold water preset. you can see some of it in the upper left area.

Rendered in Keyshot with Keyshot liquid shader where its a bit too much but want something in between the two.


Just add a bump/normal map to the water shader and adjust to taste :slight_smile:

actually it ended up being reducing the surface tension.
