          hmmm...

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

                    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.

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

                                  -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.

                                        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.

                                            I found that if I modeled this correctly, I would get a perfect square. Late Password Host Allen Ludden -- the most perfect square I know. 🤣
