Animating all-sky hydrogen data
Quick animation test. Needs more frames really. There's nothing new here (detailed explanation here). But last time it involved a laborious manual procedure. Now I've got a pipeline to process data of arbitrary coordinate systems (Cartesian is for wimps !), and it seems to be working. Sort of semi-functional in the realtime view but that needs a lot more work. Turns out you can get away with quite low-poly spheres without any noticeable distortion, which is good.
