bump_normals_fbm — 3D terrain op

• Data kinds: normalmap × pointmap → normalmap

• Call: import render3d; render3d.bump_normals_fbm(normals, positions, wavelengths=(0.002, 0.001), amplitudes=(0.0002, 0.00012), *, seed: 'int' = 0, rotation=None, step=None, local_edge=None, nyquist: 'float' = 2.0, fade: 'float' = 1.0) -> 'np.ndarray' (or ops3d.get("bump_normals_fbm"))

Usage

Perturb a normal map with the *gradient* of a seeded multi-octave height field
