Yea, learning how to use those higher end functions is like learning a new language! I just don't know where to start. Many thanks to the pioneers who've ventured out and found out how they work. I've tried a few things myself, but no luck. Ohh, and I am talking the mathematical functions here.
Honestly, at this point, I don't see myself using them past a few levels, as what they've been show to generate so far is 'structured' stuff. This is amazing in its own right, but they don't tend to have that random fractal look that noise can create, which is more my style. Of course I am not writing off the idea of a 'structured' death-star like planetary surface (which would be amazing - any takers)!?
