Can someone help me with a simple example?

Basically I would like to see a noise component with transparent background, looped through 3 times with random scale, with the the combined results sent to the Result component.

Visual guy - better for me to see the connections and move the knobs before having my eureka moment. smile:)

I'm also not clear how to (or if it is possible) to loop the gray inputs? So if I want to group my components that generate a greeble pattern, then I want to generate three iterations changing the Scale paramater with transparent backgrounds and combine the three layers and send to the Results component. It doesn't seem possible to expose the green inputs on a Group?

Actually I just found Skybases's tutorial and that may be what I needed.

Ok, well I am confused - seems simple but not sure. I want to loop this segment of my filter so that I can layer the result of two or three iterations with some variations. Can someone talk me through this?

This is what I want to achieve - these are two images output from the filter layered in Photoshop.

Here's a simplified example.

The trick is that you have to use green inputs with the randomizers, so have to use different components for some of the things you want to achieve. Also, you cannot use some components, such as smear inside a loop, so it has to go outside.
