Okay the shader on this disc and its customization interaction feels pretty good. I'd like to make the effect appear more varied and give property control - but for now - it's a good start and I love the flexibility while playing.

Way more progress on Disc Golf VR - lots of environment building for the first three levels and solidifying core systems.
