As difficult as it can be to read, Luigi's chart is one of the most ahead of its time pieces of data graphics I have ever come across. It's just stunning. So glad to see other people digging into it.
Love this post. Can you talk about how you did the shading? Is it encoding something about the data? Trying to decipher "reinforcing the dimensionality". Thanks!
Determine shading bin by calculating the angle of each surface quad relative a fixed light source. Then, I have a bunch of handles to play with to get the contraption to an agreeable place.

The new website looks great, RJ!👏
