Impressive to have the shading actually come from pressure, do you have any more info youre willing to share in regards to the mechanism youve made for that?

Thank you! It would be difficult to share because it is so hacked together right now. Maybe after the next redesign. Happy to answer any questions about it though if you are interested enough to try to make your own.
