// 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
//
