	I am planning to add solid texture mapping to a rendering
	system that I am in the process of writing. The first
	texture that I plan to map is marble. I have done some
	reading on this subject and found that Ken Perlin in
	SIGRAPH 85 Vol 19, Number 3 presents a technique for 
	simulating marble. Unfortunately (after many readings)
	I do not understand his discussion of the Noise() function.

	I would appreciate any pointers that could be given on
	this subject. I particular I would like either code
	fragments that implement Noise() or suggestions for
	further reading on the subject.

	Thanks
