I made a simple texture, roughed it up a little bit with "crand", which
looked like I wanted except (as noted in the docs) it doesn't change with
distance. The docs also say crand is obsolete and to use noise_generator
instead, specifically mentioning that it gets rid of this problem.

So, how do I do that? Noise_generator only accepts 1 parameter, which only
selects which generator to use. How do I get it to give me a nice rough
texture like crand? So far it accepts the command without error, so I assume
I'm not making any glaring mistakes, but nothing changes in my texture at
all.

Thanks.

Well, I don't know what that part of the documentation was supposed to 
mean...sounds odd to me. However, if you want a rough looking surface, 
try using a granite normal scaled very small. A wrinkles normal could 
also work well.
