What happened to ?

I’m following a tutorial series and they selected from a dropdown on the Noise node but now it’s just Simplex, among others. How do I use ? Is there another way to go about creating ?

While the Vector Noise node (which outputs a vector) offers several choices literally named “Perlin”, for the case of the Noise node (which outputs a scalar) all of the “gradient” noises are single channel . In particular, ‘Fast gradient - Texture Based’ is preferable for efficiency and is not visually inferior to the others.

Brilliant, thank you. After I read your tip about gradient noises, I took the time actually read the descriptions. Under the instruction information of “Gradient - Texture Based”, it says "Formally labeled as ". Doh!
