We propose a model of random fractal continuous-derivable procedural noise like Perlin textures, that is animated on a way similar to fluid motion, which a purely stochastic model cannot reproduce. This is done by introducing correlated rotations (despite the noise at a given time is not), and an advection of small scales by large scales.
