Uhhh, wasn't a tesseract a bridge between dimensions last time I checked? *blinks*

you have the gist of the idea.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

or hypercube is as the wiki defines the 4D version of a 3D cube is the simplest way to put it.

Ow, that hurts my brain area....
But it's very nifty.

lolz its simple really. I take the projection of the 4D surface of the 4D cube and convert it to 3D then to 2D and thus you get the image you see now. This is the static version of the hypercube. if it was tessellating it would be quite the show because it looks like the cube is actually sucking itself in and then spitting itself back out

I know, I saw the clip of it moving. I don't even want to think of 7D.

technically it is physically impossible to define a 7D object into a 2D. The highest we can go is 5D

Hmm... I would think so.
I wonder if it'd hurt to be transfered that high up.

actually right now it has been discovered that there are 11 physical dimensions that we can only define on paper.

elegant

thanks. *dangles shiny cube above your head just out of reach*

*stares at it* :3

*shines a light on it to make it glint and sparkle*

Uuuuuhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh :3
*takes a photo*

Thats a pretty nifty trinket Nanaki. Looks fun to make a keychain out of the cube, or at least to buy it.

well i could have the model 3D printed and then have a company make a mold out of it just so you could have the keychain. but i'm broke

Same. Lmao

intresting

code red we have a interested patron. raise alert status to defcon 3

ok

*Stares at it* Being a tanuki makes me multidimensional. Ever heard of 73D?

ever heard of a dimensions mage. *shatters your 73rd dimension* muhahahhaha

Ooh, you are so tricky! o.O;

*snaps fingers and your tail is sent to another dimension* *disappears in a puff of smoke*

Danni: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY SHANE’S TAIL!?

*laughs* oh nothing...*snaps fingers and Danni's tail disappears too* GHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
*disappears again*

Danni: What? Why you little! *Pulls out her Giga Piko Hammer*
Shane: You’re not gonna...
Danni: *Kisses Shane* I’ll be right back. *Disappears afer Nanaki*
Shane: I’M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!!
Axel: What ha...
Shane: Don’t... say... a word!!!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!! *keep running through various dimensions* nyeh nyeh you'll nvr ca..........oh shi *runs right into a macro version of Danni* GAHHH!!! *starts to flee* damn these dimensions i forgot about their various effects!! *trys to escape*

Danni: I have you now! *Grabs Nanaki* Now you put my tail and Shane’s tail back where they belong right now or you’ll see why I outrank Amy Rose in the Piko Hammer of the Month club!

*quivers* ok ok sheesh. they were never gone they were just invisible *snaps fingers and they re-appear* *snaps fingers again and dimension melts and are transported back to real world* *falls flat on face from Danni no longer being macro*

Danni: Well, I don’t think he’ll be a problem to you anymore, Shane.
Shane: I could’ve handled it myself.
Axel: Yeah, sure.
Shane: Shut up, Ax!
Danni: *Kisses Shane*
Shane: I’M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!!!!!

*snaps fingers and Axel's mouth disappears* hahahaha

Axel: MmmmmMMMmmmMMMMM!!!!!
Shane: Good! Some silence! XD

watch this. *snaps fingers and Axel's head vanishes but he is still alive*

Axel: *Folds his arms and taps his foot as if to say, “this is getting ridiculous!”*
Shane: How can you help Tails fix the Tornado if you no longer have a good head on your shoulders?

*snaps fingers ands Axels head returns still without mouth of course* I put the mouth on a timed spell.. it will wear off in about....a few minutes. *snaps fingers and Axels's hair vanishes*

Axel: *Feels his head*
Shane: Aw, did Ax loose his trademark green Mohawk? XDDD
Axel: *Flips Shane off* > <###

*spell wears off and mouth and hair re-appear* lol. *notices that Axel is on fire and glaring at nanaki* I uhh hehe that my que to run!! *flees*

Axel: YOU’RE DEAD NANAKI!!!!!
Shane: I guess I should’ve told you to never piss of a fox. Just be glad he has only one tail or you’d be in for an aerial assault! ^^;

*opens black hole in front of axel* *when axel re-emerges he is all jumbled up* hahaha i'll leave youl ike that for about a hr as i make my escape

Powerfull avatar....

thanks. I love making these but time to render them drives me nuts.

Wow, that's really awesome Nanakisan^^ Great job with this hyper cube^^

thanks. it was a royal pain to get the lighting right so i said F it and used a HDRI sky probe. it makes a light from the color information in a image

And it sure did come out great^^

I've been looking for ages on how to do just this. How did you manage? D:

I have 3DS Max 2009, and am a experienced user. :3

simple really. i just contoured all the faces of a normal cube. then selecting the newer inner faces i thin used intrude to hollow it out. then i selected the edges of the inner squares and used a uniform scaling.

o3o
un get the 4th dimension

Saw a 'flat' version of the 4d Hyper cube on TV a while ago. It was cubes placed into the base form of the Hyper cube. A flat 3D object depicting the flat version of a 4D object. I love it.

Love the 4D objects. Yours is brilliant!

thanks. if you like this i'm hosting requests for avatars like this. look in my current journal

I thought the hyper cube couldn't be made.

on a technical aspect in a physical working form the Hyper Cube cannot be made. but its static skeletal form the Tesseract can be.

ahhh..

You know nothing about dimensional geometry. The true approximation of a tesseract at this angle would look like only a transparent cube, you wouldn't be able to see the "middle" cube, which is really behind the bigger cube. But I don't expect you to understand any of that because you probably don't even care. However, let me get the point across that your "tesseract" is just the product of thinking too 3-dimensionally, and an abomination.

sigh... you obviously didn't look at the finer details of this image did you. there is a clear definition of the center even tho you don't really see it you need to look closer.

also really calling my art trash. thats a first actually. i'm rather proud of this piece and if you don't like it thats your opinion but if i recall art is the beauty in the eye of the beholder. So it beautiful to me and the several above you that also liked it. granted yes you are correct that at this angle it wouldn't show up correctly but also please remember there is no physical way a computer can render a 4d cube in 3d without it looking flat as it progresses through its tessellation.

I'm not saying your art is trash, I'm saying that it's simply excruciatingly wrong. Because of this fact, you can end up confusing a lot of people about what a tesseract really is.

Also, you missed my point entirely about the construction of the tesseract. The smaller cube is NOT in the center. It is behind the nearest cube, and therefore would be invisible to the viewer.

I'm also not saying it's bad art at all. It's quite nice looking, and must've taken some time to make. But it's still completely upside-down in the terms of dimensional geometry laws.

Also, this last sentence really stuck with me:
"granted yes you are correct that at this angle it wouldn't show up correctly but also please remember there is no physical way a computer can render a 4d cube in 3d without it looking flat as it progresses through its tessellation."

Way to blame it on your computer. And I never mentioned ANYTHING about the cube looking flat at all. Nothing provoked that.

Oh, and one more thing:
Tessellation is a word that has NOTHING to do with tesseracts. Better hit the dictionary, dude.

your last statement is also thus invalid.

another meaning of Tessellation is rotation along the three axis. if you were a member of the Winamp Advanced Visualization Studio forums my friends Pak-9 and Jheriko the gods of math visuals would chase you for saying that. Jheriko actually translated a 5d cube surface into 3d in the program.

Oooh, wow. The gods of math visuals are on a Winamp forum. That's really fucking impressive.

I know for a fact that translating something from 5D to 3D geometrically is child's play, so stop acting like these "math gods" are a big deal. You're trying to fool the wrong guy here.

Also, I find it somewhat suspicious that your definition of "tessellation" is nowhere to be found on any math archive or definition website.

Hell, I'd be damned if you can find PROOF that I'm wrong.

seriously does it even matter????????
