See.. no multi quotes.. its just less pretentious...
this one gives you an idea of what i would like to have

but if you watch it for a while, focus on a single plane, you will notice it makes a pass along the outside, shrinks then passes thru the inside..
its like a tubular tank tread..

BTW this is fun too...

I think the main difference between the video you linked to and the ILDA file that Aaron used for his avitar is the position (or rather, orientation) of the camera. Otherwise, the animation looks the same to me... Am I missing something?

Edit: You've got to watch the Pangolin "Mission Impossible" graphics show. A lot of the "impossible objects" listed on that Wikipedia page are featured in the show! (Mark has that show... Next time you're over at his place, get him to play it for you!)

I wish a video of the show would do it justice... need to add persistance of vision to video cameras.

Get an HD camera with a 1/24th shutter mode. Works great.

Loopee, although I too looked for the frames in the show, they appear to have been done with clever programming.

And that was back in 1997 !
Some clever blokes out there in the professional world, eh !

Yeah, right. One of these days I'm going to have to start using "professional numbers" and "professional math" on computers made with "industrial parts" powered by "industrial electrons".

I just keep wasting my time with the amateur / hobby stuff.

there is no such thing as math.. or is it that math is everything..


anyway, james, make a cube inside a cube and connect the corners.. thats a place to start.. 3D

Yea right... I am lucky to have the DSLR camera that got me the pics to make the avater.

oh.. yeah your right buffo..

Ok! i guess i'll start a new thread saying hello then! i apologise for messing up this tesseract one :P
