Marc Ten Bosch explains how Miegakure uses tetrahedral meshes instead of triangular meshes to build and render a four-dimensional game world.

We build our 4D world using Tetrahedral (instead of Triangular) Meshes, and show 4D Crystals as an example.

We also will make more videos explaining the fourth dimension using the game. Subscribe to the channel if you are interested. Image Formation by Lenses from College Physics.

Miegakure 4D rendering? Hey guys, As I'm sure you've all seen by now, Marc Ten Bosch has uploaded some interesting articles / videos regarding the tech behind the "4D"-ness of Miegakure: * http://marctenbosch.com/news/2015/12/how-do-you-even-develop-a-4d-game/ * link to this video My question is: how do you think the actual rendering engine works? I can understand, conceptually at least, the mathematics behind transforming between dimensions. But how do you think that is implemented in terms of visualization? If it's traditional polygon rasterization, do you think he's using something like marching cubes or SDFs or some similar algorithm for going from implicit representations -> polygon soup?…
