====== Noise shape (DM parameter) ======
The 'noise shape' slider in the //[[l3dt:userguide:wizards:designparams|design map parameters]]// wizard determines whether the random noise applied to the heightfield will be smooth like rolling hills, rough like jagged rocks, or a mix of the two.
This is demonstrated below, where where I've made terrain with noise shapes from 0% (rolling) up to 100% (fractal):
^ Noise shape ^ Heightfield ^ 3D render ^
