void  mwnoise(vector4 position, int &seed, float &f1, float &f2, float &f3, float &f4, int periodx, int periody, int periodz, int periodw)

Generates periodic 4D noise.

position

The position at which to sample the noise.

seed

Outputs an integer value associated with the nearest seed point. This seed is pretty much guaranteed to be unique for every point (meaning that it’s unlikely that two points close by have the same seed associated with them).

f1, f2, f3, f4

These variables are overwritten with the distances to the nearest seed points, in order of closeness.

You can combine these distances to generate noise patterns. The noise generated tends to be very “cellular” in nature. In fact, one of the nice things is that you can determine “cell” boundaries by using the expression: if (f2 - f1) which will be true if the point in space is crossing the boundary between two cells.

period, periodx, periody, periodz, periodw

If you include the period argument(s), the function generates repeating (periodic) noise.

Worley noise scatters seed points randomly through space (according to a nice Poisson distribution). The functions outputs the distances to the 2 (or 4) seed points nearest to the sample position.
