Noise module that randomly displaces the input value before returning the output value from a source module.
<p>
<div align="center">

<p>
<em><a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Turbulence.html">Turbulence</a></em> is the pseudo-random displacement of the input value. The <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Turbulence.html#a6">GetValue()</a> method randomly displaces the ( <em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>z</em> ) coordinates of the input value before retrieving the output value from the source module. To control the turbulence, an application can modify its frequency, its power, and its roughness.<p>
The frequency of the turbulence determines how rapidly the displacement amount changes. To specify the frequency, call the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Turbulence.html#a7">SetFrequency()</a> method.<p>
The power of the turbulence determines the scaling factor that is applied to the displacement amount. To specify the power, call the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Turbulence.html#a8">SetPower()</a> method.<p>
The roughness of the turbulence determines the roughness of the changes to the displacement amount. Low values smoothly change the displacement amount. High values roughly change the displacement amount, which produces more "kinky" changes. To specify the roughness, call the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Turbulence.html#a9">SetRoughness()</a> method.<p>
Use of this noise module may require some trial and error. Assuming that you are using a generator module as the source module, you should first:<ul>
<li>Set the frequency to the same frequency as the source module.</li><li>Set the power to the reciprocal of the frequency.</li></ul>
<p>
From these initial frequency and power values, modify these values until this noise module produce the desired changes in your terrain or texture. For example:<ul>
<li>Low frequency (1/8 initial frequency) and low power (1/8 initial power) produces very minor, almost unnoticeable changes.</li><li>Low frequency (1/8 initial frequency) and high power (8 times initial power) produces "ropey" lava-like terrain or marble-like textures.</li><li>High frequency (8 times initial frequency) and low power (1/8 initial power) produces a noisy version of the initial terrain or texture.</li><li>High frequency (8 times initial frequency) and high power (8 times initial power) produces nearly pure noise, which isn't entirely useful.</li></ul>
<p>
Displacing the input values result in more realistic terrain and textures. If you are generating elevations for terrain height maps, you can use this noise module to produce more realistic mountain ranges or terrain features that look like flowing lava rock. If you are generating values for textures, you can use this noise module to produce realistic marble-like or "oily" textures.<p>
Internally, there are three <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Perlin.html">noise::module::Perlin</a> noise modules that displace the input value; one for the <em>x</em>, one for the <em>y</em>, and one for the <em>z</em> coordinate.<p>
This noise module requires one source module.
