Brute Force Fix to PDF

I tried a new set of particles to see how many I could get out of the PDF code.

Initial Set: 8,635,129
Culled Set: 3,129,638

PDF Linear: 67,635 (2.16%)
PDF Quadratic: 45,031 (1.43%)

The quadratic PDF gives the best side galaxy silhouette.  Based on the current percentages, I'd need a culled set of 500 million particles to feed into the PDF code.  This is most likely unreasonable....

Linear PDF: 67635 particles
Linear PDF: edge on
Linear PDF: close up, edge on



Quadratic PDF: 45031
Quadratic PDF: edge on
Quadratic PDF: close up, edge on
