Long Run in 3D

The following run uses a larger radius than my previous 3D runs, and runs for a significantly longer amount of time

For those wishing to create large gifs like this (particularly if you want to do so on your own computer), I have a few tips to share:

  1. The 'convert' command is extremely resource intensive if you want to combine thousands of images. To save space and time, consider making smaller movies first and then combining (ignore the underscores, they are their to get the wiki to accept the following code) 
     _convert img/img00*.gif movie_00.gif
 _convert img/img01*.gif movie_01.gif
...
 _convert movie_*.gif movie.gif
 _rm movie_*.gif
  2. I have found other gif manipulators (eg gifsicle) perform better than convert
