This video demonstrates how we can do a custom clustering setup to attempt to make some clusters larger than others and gain some artistic control.
00:00 - Start
01:24 - The problem with rbd cluster

10:27 - Actual method - begin
11:01 - Clustering explained
11:43 - Extract centroid on clusters
12:35 - Why this method breaks - transform pieces needs to be cluster

I plan to do more tuts over time, bear with me!
If you guys have ideas on more tutorials, let me know!
