I think the basic idea is that the sample point is moved by the value of the 
turbulence up to 'octaves' times. Each time the distance is multiplied by 
'omega'. 'Lambda' only controls the randomness of the direction each time, 
so it doesn't affect the maximum possible distance a sample point can move 
(although it can affect the average distance).

For example, for a turbulence of 1, with omega .5 and octaves 3, the maximum 
possible distance a point in the pattern can move should be 1 + .5 + .25 = 
1.75 units.
