This time, I swapped the spherical for a swirl3, didn’t look like much until I dragged its weight into the negative numbers. Started to get a textured (wool) like appearance? I liked it a lot, but three prongs made it look a bit sparse, so I added post symmetry (point) and set the symmetry order to six.
