I did not look at those - too many things going on all at the same time, lol.

I did manage to work it out fairly closely - but this ought to help get it
working a lot better without having to plot so many cylinders.
I thought blobbing them all together would help - but I noticed some strange
behaviour.  threshold 0 gave me a web-like fill, and then raising it to 0.1 gave
me a much fuller effect.

I still need to work out a method for the upholstery "tufting", if I decide that
would add enough to be worth the effort.  :)

So, make a third array with the diameters, and interpolate the intermediate
values...

That could be an interesting thing to experiment with - I suppose there's no
limit to the number of additional arrays - for color, texture, normals, etc.
