Once placed in the scene, navigate to the *Details Panel*.

Under the *Render Targets* category, make sure your previously created Render Targets are input into the **Fluid Out** parameters.

{% hint style="info" %}
You will need to add multiple Fluid Controllers and add the correct **Fluid Out** Render Targets if you plan to have multiple fluid simulations.
{% endhint %}

You can also change some of the fluid simulation settings in this *Details Panel*.

* **Fluid Update Rate**: This will change the rate at which the fluid simulation ticks.
* **Fluid Travel Speed**: This will change the speed at which the fluid ripples travel.
* **Fluid Dampening**: This changes the dampening amount for the fluid ripples.
* **Normal Intensity**: This changes the overall normal calculation intensity for this fluid simulation.
