nz_perlin3s

Returns 3D Perlin noise values at (x, y, z) coordinates.

Since: 2.3

Parameters

• points : A list of [x, y, z] coordinates.
• seed : The random seed. If it's ignored, a randomized value will be used.

Examples

use <util/rand.scad>
use <noise/nz_perlin2s.scad>
use <noise/nz_perlin3s.scad>
