Noise (grains in graphics) other than random

[blackfin]

A common form of noise is "perlin noise". It is often used for generating cloud textures or to create a detail map for graphics / textures.

Here is a website where you can download a project that generates perlin noise with Delphi:

just scroll down the site or text-search for "perlin noise" when the website has opened.
Maybe this helps a little bit?
