A flow map stores directional information in a texture, also called a vector field. This can be used to control the UV coordinates for a water texture, to make the texture flow around rocks. It can also be used to control the direction of a hairstyle's anisotropic specular highlight. Similar map types include [[CurvatureMap]], [[DuDvMap]], [[NormalMap]], [[RadiosityNormalMap]], [[VectorDisplacementMap]].

Flow Map

A flow map stores directional information in a texture, also called a vector field. This can be used to control the UV coordinates for a water texture, to make the texture flow around rocks. It can also be used to control the direction of a hairstyle's anisotropic specular highlight.
