Hi,

I need to return a Noise function as vector , and not as the default float. The reason is that I am using noise to deform an object, and I need it to affect the x, y and z axes.

What I am currently using is this:

Real rX = myC4dnoise->Noise(NOISE_NOISE, FALSE, padr[i], 0, 5 FALSE, 0, 0, 0);

where padr are the point positions of the object.

I can of course use a combination of different results to form a vector, but this does not result in the correct noise deformation.

What I am trying to achieve is similar to a Displace Modifier that has a noise shader applied.
So the question is how to return a noise function as a vector that has the correct x, y and z components representing the noise values in each dimension.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answering my own question. The noise result should be used on the point normals, and not positions as I was previously doing.
