The map created by the shader is not strictly a depth map; not only is the "depth" encoded in the rgb channels, but it is also a distance to the camera instead of a "scene depth".
This is the first draft of the Support Eraser tool. The plugin creates a cube mesh which has the `anti_overhang_mesh` decorator causing it to block the creation of support material for overhangs within its volume. This distinction is necessary to avoid confusing this behavior from actually erasing a _portion_ of a support structure.
Some (non-necessary) improvements could be made such as:
- Better graphical style
- Discussion of whether the cube should be able to pass through the build plate or not
- Possible improvements to the tool's icon
- Placing the cube at a cursor click location
