Author's note
(difficulty level = challenge)
This tutorial becomes a little complicated
due to the materials, which will require some creativity to
the creation of new versions; the tip is to choose tubes IN
MOTION
to the main tube
Colors and blend modes, opacity etc will vary according to
the tubes they use for your version.
