Description

Hello, many thanks for this excellent repo.
I'd like to render many spheres with variable radii, I read the docs and codes, maybe the current pipeline does not support this?
If I implement a custom shader based on the current repo, is it relatively easy? is it recommended to do so?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing documentation and rendering code to determine how sphere or particle geometry and radii are currently represented. Establish whether variable radii require a supported API or a custom shader, then define completion as rendering many spheres with distinct radii and documenting the recommended approach.
