Without knowing exactly what changes were made  from 04 to 05 I really can't
say in detail. Also as I don't know how the noise function used to create
patterns is generated I can't tell you what parameters I would like to be
able to control. All I can say is that media clouds are now much softer and
whispier than they were in 04.  If what was changed is now made into a
variable we can control ...
