usage: Adjusts the character and level of detail produced by the Perlin noise function. Similar to harmonics in physics, noise is computed over several octaves. Lower octaves contribute more to the output signal and as such define the overal intensity of the noise, whereas higher octaves create more fine grained details in the noise sequence. By default noise is computed over 4 octaves with each octave only contributing exactly half than its precessor, starting at 50% strength for the 1st octave. This falloff amount can be changed too via the 2nd function parameter. Eg. a falloff factor of 0.75 means each octave will now have 75% impact (25% less) of the previous lower octave. Any value between 0.0 and 1.0 is valid, however note that values greater than 0.5 might result in greater than 1.0 values returned by noise(). By changing these parameters, the signal created by the noise() function can be adapted to fit very specific needs and characteristics. noiseDetail(octaves) noiseDetail(octaves, fallOff) octaves - int: number of octaves to be used by the noise() function allOff - float: falloff factor for each octave
