Faux Volume Rendering

A faux volume rendering of the coronal density: every radial shell between 1 and 2.5 R_sun is drawn as one translucent slices actor, colored and faded by log10 of the density times r squared (Extract, Square, Multiply, Log10). The @faux-volume opacity function is near zero except for a narrow lobe at streamer-level values, so streamers accumulate along the line of sight and holes stay dark. Depth peeling is off for speed; insert a Downsample (stride_r) after Read to thin the shells.

Built from: a pinned MAS File reader, Read, Extract, Square, Multiply, Log10 and Plot.
