'lp_' is not really the name inside of Nuke, it's more for organizing on a server/computer harddrive
NoiseDistort is designed to quickly animate still and/or boring (background) images.
It uses two individually controllable noise-layer to distort the image for a more natural look; a small noise for finer details (e.g. leaves) and a big noise for larger areas (e.g. branches). The noise can be adjusted for different aspects (e.g. water) and also be rotated.
The tool is expression-animated over time by default, it is easily adjustable if you need manual control though.
Even though it was designed to give still-images of plants a bit of life, it can also be used for water or entirely different stuff; I once used it to animate a stationary firework :)

This was the very first tool I made, so I'm pretty happy that I can finally release it :)
This tool is insipred by a tutorial of VFXLUNCHBOX. I didn't tested it with older versions, as long as iDostort is available it should work without flaws
