These seem like relatively simple and potentially useful features. One thing
about the twirl warp, tho. You seem to imagine the effect as a cylindrical
one, i.e. it extends infinitely in the direction perpendicular to the "twirl
plane". This might have unwanted effects, like the warp appearing on the
other side of the object.
My head isn't working in 3D right now; couldn't this warp be spherical, like
the black hole, with the twirl applied from all directions towards the
center?
Ouch, I hurt my brain trying to imagine that...
