How do objects in 4 dimensions look like?
This article gives a very cool introductions to rendering objects of higher dimensions.
Full python 4d renderer source code included!
Our goal in this post will be to render an object residing in a coordinate system of arbitrary dimensions on a 2D computer screen. We will try to do this in such a way as to lose as little information as possible on the structure of the object, while maintaining its 2D description as simple as possible (so that indeed, we will get some form of intuition on the shape of the object).
Great post!!!

Reminds me of something I wrote about 15 years ago! http://www.cict.co.uk/software/maths/polytopia.htm (can’t believe they’re still selling that
] - the fancy screenshots there are pre-rendered; the main app didn’t look that fancy).
