      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. 🤣

                          If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                              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.
