IMHO in searching for the more correct code has lead to a lose of more
interesting effects... WARNING... Opinions may vary... =)
I like old things... Old cars... Comfortable old cloths... Older women...
On a more serious note... Didn't someone mention the idea of adding a keyword
to turn on/off the old noise3d... This would be helpful as time goes on to be
able to revert the noise alone with out changing the whole scene version...
Say in Mega Pov 0.8 or 1.2...
