To view its 3D evolution, each step of a 2D nine-neighbor totalistic two-color cellular automaton is plotted as a distinct layer. Black cells are plotted as a cube or sphere and the white cells are suppressed. Each block/sphere is colored individually according to how you set the color scheme, which is used as a gradient.
