but now you completely confused me. Maybe someone should explain me first what the 3 means in 3d...

3D means = 3 times Double because a cube has 6 faces.

I tried again to build a cube, but now i'm really confused. I wonder what happened.

hmmm...

I may need to scale back my 'Model this' complexity, as clearly we are all still struggling with the basics.

My cube turned out inside-out, I'll post a picture when I get it right...

If any of you guys are really interested in 4D understanding and illustration, I strongly recommend you watch these set of videos.

The torrent downloaded (legal, offered at his site) videos are incredibly crisp and fluid.

Truly mind bending.

"Aha! Easy!" I thought...
"In 2D you draw two triangles to get a square - so surely two pyramids make a cube."

With ZBrush I tried to find the ideal shape, then import Obj into Sketchup. Treated with Subdivide and Smooth. But already looks almost perfect.

charly2008 · 8 Dec 2009, 22:15

And so I have a cube in my head.

boofredlay · 8 Dec 2009, 22:27

And so goes the complexity of the cube...

Well... If were going to talk cubist....

Cube Tutorial
-Do such a contour in Sketchup and print it out.
-Cut out the outline and fold a cube.
-Take a picture of the cube.
-Import the photo into Sketchup.

I propose that we set up a new forum for Cubists. We need the cube necessarily to develop. It is still a long way to the perfect cube. I call it the squaring of the cube. Might be worthy of the Nobel Prize.

I dunno, that name is too square, you need to think outside the box.

museummaker · 8 Dec 2009, 23:09

Took me awhile but I think I got it so it looks square from every side.

I thought SU was supposed to be easy to use? cube.skp

I've found it at last, the earth is not a sphere but a cube. I will outline the evidence tomorrow.

Have a good night
