Part of the reason Mona looks so bad is that all the dark parts force the
cylinders downward, which includes the shadows on her face.

I don't know how to go about doing that, at least if the columns are going to
be perfect hexagons. I could think of how to do one that has slightly
squished hexagonal columns...

It will have a problem I don't want to fix: the problem being that two sides
of the grid will have cylinders hanging out, while the other two won't.
Fixing it would mean increasing parsing time.
