Turbulence EZ
Turbu lence EZ is a simplified version of Tu r b u l e n c e .
 Detail -
determines how much detail is in the distortion field; it is similar in function to a focus or sharp-
ness control. Increasing sharpness in the distortion field creates more abrupt transitions between
distorted and unaffected areas of the image.
 Scale -
controls how big the distortion field is. Bigger field sizes create bigger distortion areas and
smaller sizes create smaller, busier, more detailed areas of distortion.
 Gain -
controls the strength of the distortion field over the target layer. If you think of the distortion field
as a wave pattern, Gain controls the overall amplitude of the wave.
 Aspect Ratio -
stretches the distortion field horizontally when positive; negative values stretch the distortion
field vertically.
 Position -
controls where in the turbulent noise field the distortion field is centered. Animate this point to
create drifts or eddies.
 Mutation Rate -
controls the speed of the distortion field’s change over time. Higher numbers create faster
changes.
 Mutation Offset -
controls where in the fractal space the distortion, and therefore the texture, is positioned. Use this
control to find a texture you like, then mutate it using Mutation Rate. Mutation Offset can also be
animated for nonlinear mutation effects.
