It is annoying to remove something when it's actually used, because all your scripts will be broken and you'll have to change the line with "particleSD" everywhere. 
OTOH, half-working functions are generating useless noise on the mailing list (or in my private mailbox in that case - even if I provided a script with makeCloud initially...).

Could you please decide if you prefer to fix the bug or remove this function (after verifying that you can do what you want with makeCloud)?
Removing the seed parameter would be an acceptable fix, at least it would not mislead anybody.

Title:
  particleSD2 (always random + no example script)

Status in Yet Another Dynamic Engine:
  New

Bug description:
  (reported by Wenrui Zhu )
  particleSD2 takes a "seed" value in arguments, but the result is always random with or wothout seed.

  More generally, I (Bruno) wonder if there is really a need to keep many functions for clouds generation.  What is PSD2 doing that makeCloud cannot do?
  In case there is such special feature, it would be good to have it shown in the psd.py script, since for the moment there is no example of PSD2 usage.
