                                -------------------------------------- MESH INTERACTOR (MAIN SCRIPT) ------------------------------------------

- SUMMARY: This script allows for interaction with the mesh to deform it using multiple brush shapes, sizes, and impact types. It also instantiates and calls 
           all the other components of TactiScape in its Update Function
- USED IN: Is the one that uses.
- FOUND ON: 'Mesh Renderer' Game Object in Unity.
