The main challenge here was creating organic, handmade lines that actually stay stable
on CG renders. I used a Pref pass with noise for the line distortions, but the real
breakthrough was a happy accident. While trying to key stable edges, I accidentally
wired my edge detect into the Cryptomatte giving stable results. That was the trick! Credits to Perceval Schopp for his triplanar blinkescript available here: https://www.nukepedia.com/tools/gizmos/other/triplanar/
