To represent 3D rotations graphics programmers use Quaternions . However, Quaternions are taught at face value . We just accept their odd multiplication tables and other arcane definitions and use them as black boxes that rotate vectors in the ways we want. Why does $\mathbf{i}^2=\mathbf{j}^2=\mathbf{k}^2=-1$ and…
So I have been working on Miegakure for a long time now, and I have created and accumulated many cool 4D things of all sorts. I think it’s about time that I share some of them, so…
Excited to announce that my technical paper “ N-Dimensional Rigid Body Dynamics ” was accepted to SIGGRAPH 2020 ! Very proud to present research developed for 4D Toys & Miegakure at such a prestigious conference.
An explanation of how walking through walls would actually look like if you could move in 4D.
This is a Mega-Update ®™ that focuses on features that people have been requesting for a long time. I have a ton of stuff in Miegakure that could be shared with 4D Toys but what takes development time is not the cool 4D stuff but all the UI/UX around it. First of all because there is the VR version, the mouse/keyboard…
