            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...

                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.
