This browser isn't giving the page WebGL 2, so the images use the editor's older converter and the live animations are off.

The converter couldn't start in this browser, so these are the original images.

Safari has turned WebGL off for this site, which it does after a page crashes the graphics chip. Close Safari completely and open it again to turn it back on.
