Gif is very small due to lemmy.ml size restrictions. I can probably put a higher res one on youtube if ppl want to see.

edit: made it reasonable size by changing it to mp4

    sure, if you want. It’s based on a a tutorial by “gorilla sun”. I can link you to that if you prefer, or give you my code to modify directly
