Clouds
Clouds represent Perlin noise. In addition, each noise-based Blender texture (with the exception of Voronoi and simple noise) has a Noise Basis setting that allows the user to select which algorithm is used to generate the texture. This is often used for Clouds, Fire, Smoke. Well-suited to be used as a Bump map, giving an overall irregularity to the material.

- Цвет (color)
The noise gives an RGB value.
- Шум (noise)
Soft or Hard, changes contrast and sharpness.
- Размер (size)
