# Noise

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Noise node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It generates procedural fractal noise in 2D or 3D — the all-purpose source for surface variation, breakup masks and bump detail without texture files.\
> Also have a look at the even more versatile [Maxon Noise](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/COM_REDSHIFT3D_REDSHIFT4C4D_NODES_CORE_MAXONNOISE.html.md) node.

This shader generates procedural noise, useful for adding surface detail, special effects and driving bump-maps.
