  15. i am using fractal noise as a cloud
  16. texture-it looks great, but i would
  17. like to create a looping anim-
  18. now i *know* everyone says you can't make
  19. fractal noise into a repeating texture-my
  20. question is...is this 'real' impossibility,
  21. or just a really difficult one :-) ? that is, is
  22. there something innately impossible about writing
  23. a fractal generator that can repeat after 20
  24. or 200 frames or so ? 
  25. thanks,
  26. kevin
