Octaves

The octaves keyword may be followed by an integer value to control the number of steps of turbulence that are computed. Legal values range from 1 to 10. The default value of 6 is a fairly high value; you won't see much change by setting it to a higher value because the extra steps are too small. Float values are truncated to integer. Smaller numbers of octaves give a gentler, wavy turbulence and computes faster. Higher octaves create more jagged or fuzzy turbulence and takes longer to compute.
