Rand

The Rand node generates a random field of noise. The field does not resample if you
change the resolution or density—you can animate the density without pixels
randomly changing. The seed is set to time by default so that it changes every frame,
but you can of course lock this parameter to one value.

Parameters

This node displays the following controls in the Parameters tab:

width, height
The width and height value fields in the Res parameter set the size of the generated
image.

bytes
The bit depth of the generated image. There are three settings: 8 bits, 16 bits, or float
(1, 2, or 4 bytes per channel).
