          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.

                        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.

                              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. 🤣

                                      We should propose to Google to update the elevation maps so that it fits better into this packaging:

                                        They say a cube is just an infinite number of squares stacked together.
