This one shows a perspective projection of a rectified tesseract (a rectified hypercube). This is a 4D uniform 'object'. In the perspective projection the projection volume and and the camera point are very close, so that the perspective is a bit overdone. However this gives a more beautiful and distinctive projection. I will probably build another version of this object some time. One with three transparent colours and two non-transparent colours. Also I will increase the outer faces a bit so that they fit better. I guess the thickness of the material causes the outer faces not to fit so well.

very nice, only hypercube has a pronounced H in the beginning, so it's not preceded by "an". Otherwise it would be pronounced iPercube and Apple would hold the rights lol.
But I digress, great craftsmanship!

:D
thanks for the tip, would like to get Apple on my neck...

Yes, as a matter of fact I just uploaded a video of a model of the rectified 24 cell.

I am blown away by your models!
To see these polytopes as actual 3-d models really brings them to life.. it makes them seem so much more real.
And then I realized that you are also the heptagon guy! Excellent work. Gorgeous!

Thanks, man. Yesterday I started building a model of the rectified 24-cell. Naturally that will take some time to finish, but if it ready, you can expect a new video.
