Not yet. I wanted to try to see the pressure gradient without
any complication from the material first so I used hard
substance models. It's easy to build on that and change the base
material charactersitics.

So far it does look that way. I'm pretty sure I am not looking
at artifacts as the stress changes are steep, but smooth.
