Nice.

Why is it such red ?

2 points:
* there is more past the 2.0 limit (looking at 3, 4 and 5 for instance,
probably not with 1/4 step). Maybe you can use some log/exp scale
instead of a linear one. (1.0 is a must have, 0.5 also, as well as 2.0,
other values might be something along k = 1+log/b (x) ; your choice of
base b.) Central point might remains around 1.0;

* might have some issues of self-shading or computation of intersection
with bounding box or similar for n=0 & e >= 1 (notice the bottom of the
objects on last line)
