Create a complex "cracked mud" texture using multiple cellular noise functions.

## Installation

Clone this repo or copy the package folder into your nTop workspace:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/nTopology/Utilities.git
```

The package lives at `packages/DaveMakesStuff/cracked-mud-texture/`.

## Usage

1. Open the provided `.ntop` file in nTop 4.12+.
2. Input body to texture
3. Modify parameters to achieve desired crack pattern
4. Use a "Surface Roughness" block to add final texture as needed
