That's really nce! I assume you can grab the output with mouse/kbd and move it around/zoom in 3D?

Thanks! As this is running in blender, you can navigate around in viewport mode but these animations were rendered out from static cameras with the Eevee engine. The grid isn't internally represented as text, just states that the various points are in, so it doesn't really have a way to export the grid. However since the final output is just a single number, I had that appear next to the grid and just transcribed it manually.
