Is the interpolation cubic like in sp_lines or cosine based? (
http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/models/m_perlin.htm has decription of
the funtions that I'm writing) I tried to look at the source myself but my C
skills are pretty bad. If it is cosine based the grid could be natural part
of the function. I'm thinking this because the small lines that cause the
grid are visible even when using one dimentional version of the function.
(just change f_noise3d(x,y,z) to f_noise3d(x,0,0) ) Sorry if this is too
newbie question for advanced-users.
