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

[Ronan Ducluzeau]

In d.b.o, Campbell suggests to keep an edit mode tool to displace based on
a texture.
It might be interesting to add this to randomize tool with more mapping
coordinates options.

Randomize tool also works on object mode. In this case, global or object
coordinates could still be used to randomize a bunch of objects.
