Used as a capsule under an object or in the Node Editor, it displaces points randomly or by noise patterns — procedural surface roughening without a deformer object. This asset can be grouped directly in the *Object Manager*, e.g., under a polygon or spline object to be deformed, or linked to a geometry in the *Node Editor*.\ The function offers a random shift of point positions or a shift controlled by common noise structures. The reference system can be defined individually. ![Image: 2025-0_Node_NoiseModifier_01.png](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/2025-0_Node_NoiseModifier_01.png)\ Here, a layer is deformed by a Noise structure (left) and Random (right).
