    NoiseD  for  Maya7

This is the deformer which can apply noise to any models, curvs, even particles.
This plug-in is quite handy & useful for distorting your model, make a landform.
You don't need to use softBody particle for these deform effects anymore!
Now it's only for Maya7Win+Linux.
Please use it with your own risk.

and ask me if you have any suggestions or questions(and let me know if my english was wrong!)

 2.How to use

１．Put .mll into plug-in folder, .mel into script folder.

２．Load .mll from plug-in manager.

３．select objects you want to assign to.
Then, from the main manu, Deform->create NoiseD


If you can't find it in the menu item,
Just write and run this command from the script Editor.
deformer -type noiseD;

3.Attribute

Attribute	explanation	Default
noiseType	fBm(Fractional Brownian Motion), turbulence You can select noise type from these two choicces.	fBm
depthMax	Increase this value If you want to make more detail. (It makes the calculation heavier) It is called Octave in AdvancedRenderman.	7
FrequencyRatio	Noise intensity can be increased with this value. It is called lacunarity in AdvancedRenderman.	2.000
gain	Noise strength.	0.500
amplitude	noise wave height.	3.000
pointSpace	local(apply noise as local effect) world(apply noise as world effect。)	local
useNormal	use normal direction.(only Polygons)　In this case, noiseDirection will be ignored. All objects Except polygons will be ignored and will use noiseDirection value.	off
noiseDirection	locatorAngle(effect +Y direction of locator.) locatorRadial(effect radial direction From locator position.)	locatorAngle
time	Offset of noise value. It's good for using as time.	0.000
frequency	Increase it and noise will be decreased.inverse propotion to Scale.	1.000
Scale	Increase it and noise will be bigger.	<<1.0,1.0,1.0>>
useMaxDistance	If you want to use startDist and endDist, toggle this to "on".	off
startDist	Distance to start declining.	0.000
endDist	End distance. Noise strength will be zero.	3.000
