Ridged Fractal
The Ridged Fractal node produces a fractal pattern in grayscale format. In Figure 1, the Ridged Fractal node connects to a Diffuse material's Diffuse pin. Note that the UVW transform scale values (S.X, S.Y, S.Z) are lowered a lot for the pattern to emerge on the surface.

Ridged Fractal Parameters
Power - Controls the texture's overall brightness.
Ridge Height - This specifies the height of the elevated parts of the fractal pattern.

Lacunarity - Controls the size of the gaps in the fractal pattern.
UVW Transform - Controls the texture's position, scale, and rotation on the surface.
Projection - Determines how the texture projects onto the surface.
Coordinate Space - Determines the coordinate space for the texture map.
Use Rest Attribute - Prevents texture sliding, swimming, or distortion on animated and deforming meshes by locking coordinates to an base frame.
