Overlapping bands turn and ripple like a set of flowing water rings. Compared with cloudlike noise, the repeated bands and folds remain easy to see.
`scale` defaults to 1.5 and ranges from -2 to 5; higher values make the pattern larger. `detail` defaults to 1.24 and ranges from 1.05 to 2; higher values add finer wavelet detail. `contrast` defaults to 0 and ranges from -1 to 5, sharpening the transitions. `balance` defaults to 0 and ranges from -1 to 1, shifting the mix toward the second color below zero and the first above zero. `speed` defaults to 1 and ranges from 0 to 5, making the ripples move faster or slower.
This generator fills the canvas instead of transforming input. Layer it with `GaborNoise` to add fine directional grain, or use it as a background on its own. If the bands crowd text, lower `contrast` or `speed`.
When to use
Use it for rippling backgrounds, abstract graphics with visible bands, and scenes that need rhythmic motion. Avoid it for flat, still surfaces or behind dense text.
