That sounds cool! I have a number of ideas to improve the current code
that's in VTK for that, keep meaning to do it, but haven't gotten to
it yet. Basically there are simple ways to add shading and improve the
quality of the current version. I'm not sure if that fits within your
proposal but that's always nice to have.
