[Bf-committers] [SPAM] Re: Suggested removal of noise modeling tool

[Bassam Kurdali]

Wow, I didn't even know this existed.
I think it's ok to remove - it's quite undiscoverable, and I'm guessing
is an old method that got superseded by others (displace, random
falloff)

Using displace modifier with a texture is more flexible, and can be
applied to be destructive if needed.
