It's possible. It'd just be a 3D visualization and more importantly, stupendously huge. If each cell was a cubic millimeter, the shape would be 3700km wide, and stretch 1/3rd of the way to the moon.

And if each cell was a cubic micrometer (which is a side length 200-300 times smaller than a pixel on a typical screen and 50-100 times thinner than a human hair), it'd still stretch 3.7 kilometers, which is about the length of a commercial airport runway.
