Deep wire funnels form the digit's two bowls, tumbling as one rigid body while a roving hand cursor thins nearby cells from solid to glass scaffolding.
The digit's two bowls become deep wire funnels: every cell is stretched far into the screen, turning the silhouette into a tunnel of nested frames. The whole figure tumbles as one rigid body, and where the pointing-hand cursor roams, the remaining solid faces thin away to bare scaffolding.
Unlike its siblings, the eased rotation choreography is applied once to the whole 3D buffer before any cell draws, so the glyph turns in one piece instead of cell by cell. Per-cell fill opacity eases along a position-and-index schedule — or, in interactive mode, along each cell's projected distance to the cursor — while strokes never fade, which is what leaves the etched wireframe. The scene is flattened to a 2D canvas before the cursor is drawn, keeping the overlay out of the depth buffer.
