PathFractalize Node
PathFractalize fractalizes a polyline using a mid-point displacement algorithm. The procedure involves iteratively modifying the polyline's geometry to increase its complexity, mimicking fractal characteristics.

Parameters
Parameters common to all groups (Fractalize, Squiggle): |Name|Type|Description| | :--- | :--- | :--- | |Iterations|Integer|Number of mid-point displacement iterations.| |Random Seed|Random seed number|Random seed number. The random seed is an offset to the randomized process. A different seed will produce a new result.| |Orientation|Integer|Displacement orientation (0 for random inward/outward displacement, 1 to inflate the path and -1 to deflate the path).| |Remove Geometric Loops|Bool|No description|
Fractalize
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sigma | Float | Half-width of the random Gaussian displacement, normalized by the distance between points. |
| Persistence | Float | The amplitude scaling factor for subsequent noise octaves. Lower values reduce the contribution of higher octaves. |
