How Do You Build 4D Worlds? - 4D Golf Devlog #3

Modeling 4D objects and drawing them to the screen is obviously one of the hardest problems with making a 4D game. In this Devlog, I go into the implementation detail of how I achieved this in my project and some of the amazing algorithms that got me there.

So many problems in life can be solved by using a lookup texture instead of real-time calculations

[@epewx6667]

Well duh, use lego

[@ikebirchum6591]

"Hmmm yes, fascinating," I say as I stroke my chin thoughtfully, completely and utterly failing to comprehend anything that's being shown or said

[@vihdzp]

I'm really glad Miratope was of some use. When I started coding it almost 3 years ago I honestly had very little idea of what I was even doing. I haven't been actively working on it for a while now, but I believe it's currently in good hands.

[@NStripleseven]

Precomputed data in textures. Gotta love it.

[@sporkwizard4131]

The fact that you’ve wrapped your head around this stuff to not only think, but also code and optimize, in four dimensions is seriously so impressive. That optimization with the lookup texture was sick as hell

[@DaviiiD3]

Its very simple. Just use Cinema 4D for modeling

[@DefineMeAsOne]

I came in here thinking, "He's going to explain it!!! I can't wait to finally understand 4D world", I came out still confused but motivated. Idk how he casually just talks about 4d like it's nothing, but it made me motivated and happy to know that it is achievable to get to that level.

A 4d game on a 2d screen in a 3d world

[@storytimewithreddit]

cant spell tetrahedragonizing without agonizing

[@nem7296]

I think the property you migh be refering to at

[@dkosmari]

At

[@pyro-millie5533]

Holy shit that optimization into a 64 bit table encoded to RGB values is FUCKING BRILLIANT!!! I adore your projects so much!!

love 4d stuff bruh

When i was doing 4d rendering, i did consider building meshes to render, but eventually i just thought back on your videos and the work of inigo quilez and raymarched it instead. super simple and ran decently well, mostly. though sending the primitives to the GPU was an interesting experience

[@CalebRuiz]

I don’t understand most of this but it makes me feel good that someone does 😂 keep up the good work!

[@KeksosDerGrosse]

Nice optimization with the lookup table! Getting more and more pumped to experience all this in its final form.

[@minerharry]

Oh, by the way: the property you’re looking for, beyond convex, is called **stellar convex**. Just learned about it in my topology class!
