If you scale down the noise() function so that the bumps are small, and interpret it's output as intensity it looks rather like granite and is a lot more flexible than a bitmap (though it requires a lot of computation). See Perlin's "An Image Synthesizer" in SIGGRAPH '85 for an example of what it looks like. Ken -- The Fundamental Dilemma of Existentialism: Eschew obfuscation. Ignore alien orders.
