5DMkII Noise
I stumbled across this graph plotting noise vs ISO on the 5DMkII. I was perusing the cinema5D forums when this popped up.

Extemely interesting that ISO 1250 seems to have less noise [...]

Nuke Noise
Here is some custom Nuke noise, similar to those noise functions I posted as Shake Noise3d. I will call it Nuke Noise.

Again there’s control over Frequency, Seed, [...]
