5.13.5 Other Noise Functions

Gradient noise can be created using the same method described above, but with a different filter. The technique described above can also create noise that is not aligned on a lattice. To create sparse convolution noise [29] or spot noise [47], instead of drawing the entire point-sampled texture at once, draw one texel and one copy of the filter at a time for each random location.
