    Position of the wave along the *Bands Direction*.
    This can be used as an input for more control over the distortion.
 
+.. hint:: In general, textures can be distorted by mixing their texture coordinates with another texture.
+   The distortion built into the *Wave Texture Node* uses the *Color* output of the
+   :doc:`Noise Texture Node </render/shader_nodes/textures/noise>`.
+   
+   To replicate this, center its value range around zero, multiply it by a factor proportional to *Distortion*/*Scale* and add the result onto the texture coordinates.
