Open it up: out fast, back slowly
The recorded exchange: the request, the tool activity, every image the tools returned to the model, and its reply. Expand tool activity to read the steps; open an image to see it full size.
Still in explode: as a face flies out it should shrink a little, so the solid opens up and you can see through it at the height of the burst; whole again when it's back. And make it snappier: out fast, back slowly.

Considering smoothstep calculations
Considering smoothstep calculations
I need to look up the term "envelope," and I'm thinking about using a fractional duplication method. My potential formula involves phases running from 0 to 1, with parameters for attack, decay, and resting values. The attack seems like .08, decay .5, and rest at .42. I might need to use a minimum function to clamp the values and decide whether to apply a smoothstep function for the result.

Updated explode:
- Faces shrink 25% about their own centres at full extension, restoring their original size as they return.
- Fast out (~0.38 s), slow back (2.4 s) per face.
- Preserved the 4.8-second cycle and top-to-bottom wave.
The animation captures show clear see-through gaps during the burst and the solid closing up again. Colour is unchanged.
Kotlin compilation and shader reload succeeded.
