increases, the number of dents decreases when
other settings are the same. Default=200.
Decreasing Size creates the appearance of tiny
dents spaced fairly evenly. The effect can resemble
a "sand-covered" surface.
Increasing Size creates the appearance of distinct
grooves and gouges on a surface. The effect
sometimes has a "hardened lava" look.

Size=10, 500, and 1000
Iterations=3, Strength=20 (default)
Each set of three spheres uses the same size range,
but varies the number of iterations. Strength is
held constant in both sets.
Strength—Determines the relative coverage of the
two colors. Higher values increase the coverage of
Color #2, w h ile lower values increase the coverage
of C olor #1. Default=20.
When using D ent as a bump map, increasing the
Strength value typically makes the dents look
deeper.
