A 3D implementation using the 2D Perlin noise function of Unity3D.

// Get all permutations of noise for each individual axis
float noiseXY = Mathf.PerlinNoise(x * frequency + seed, y * frequency + seed) * amplitude;
float noiseXZ = Mathf.PerlinNoise(x * frequency + seed, z * frequency + seed) * amplitude;

Glad to hear it was useful after all!
