//  Class: latticeNoiseCmd
//
//  Description:
//      The latticeNoise command creates a new lattice (ffd) deformer.  A 
//      latticeNoise node is placed between the deformed lattice shape and the 
//      actual deformer node.  This causes the deformed object to wobble as 
//      random continuous noise is added to the pointes of the lattice.
//
//  eg
//     This causes the currently selected object to be deformed
//  
//       latticeNoise;
//
//     This causes the specified geometry to be deformed
//
//       latticeNoise sphereShape1;

//
//  Class: latticeNoiseNode
//
//  Description:
//      A "latticeNoise" node adds random noise to lattice geometry over time.
//      This makes the geometry being deformed by the lattice look like 
//      wobbly jello.
//
//
//  Node:       latticeNoise
//
//  Attributes: input     - input lattice 
//              amplitude - amplitude of the noise
//              frequency - frequency of the noise
//              time      - the current time
//              output    - the modified lattice
//

};

//
//  Class: noise
//
//  Description:
//      The noise class is used for generating pseudo-random continuous noise.
//      The noise values generated are always between 0 and 1.
//
//      The technique used is a simple lattice noise algorithm based upon one 
//      by Ken Perlin.  This particular implementation is adapted from 
//      Darwyn Peachey's (Texturing and Modeling: a Procedural Approach,
//      S. Ebert Editor, 1994).
