      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.
