…think that Twin Univers group are possible :smiley:
So that double the possibilities :rolleyes:

if you have some free time you can have a look at his 100Megs PDF :slight_smile:

Marcus:
>“dropped hard on the canvas the night before?”
LOL :laughing:small_orange_diamond:laughing:small_orange_diamond:laughing:small_orange_diamond:laughing:

Antimorph:
looks kool the sand game, gotta work now, I’ll play around this evening :slight_smile:

EDIT:
“…but how many dimensions would it take need to make the universe from any arbitrary metaphysical groupoid?”

well… THE answer is of course 42!

#12

I think I have to agree with Marcus about being Pixols…just this morning I looked into the mirror and parts of me were missing.

#13

NA, I don’t think it takes that many. It’s 2.5D ;-). And in this context… The Z-Universe IS flat! But colorful! And coated with tasty materials!

PS:Stop taking that stuff!:wink:

…it’s less than the 10 000 pages of Marcel Proust “A la recherche du temps perdu” :smiley:
(“In search of lost time” :wink:

#15

Frenchy :
less pages but I guess more delirious :slight_smile: I wish I had enough time to read them both…

> Still, I could be a Bryce boolean object so I’m grateful
You could also have been a 3dsmax 3.0 boolean, anything normal about you would have ended flipped…
But in the end the worst thing you could have ever been is
A MICROSOFT OFFICE ASSISTANT!!!

Consider yourself lucky ;)!

not sure, but even if the [something]-verse were made of pixols and had (x * x) + 1 dimensions, for practical purposes a clipping [something] that displayed only 4.5d might be sufficient

#17

Now if you’d considered pixols, the answer would be so much simpler:

4096x4096=16,777,216 pixols maximum

See? EVERYTHING is easier with ZBrush! :stuck_out_tongue:

Howdy Aurick,

Be a sport and answer my mac specific memory question a few threads down will you?

#19

Maybe we’re all characters in “The Sims, Version 9,999” :lol:

#20

Now if you’d considered pixols, the answer would be so much simpler:
4096x4096=16,777,216 pixols maximum

…are (with 16 000 000 colors - I simplify - :slight_smile:

16 000 000 power of 16 777 216
so aproximatively a numeral of 120 795 955 numbers longer :eek: :eek: :eek:
But we have not yet all a monitor screen of 4096 * 4096 pixols :smiley:
All is so eaZy with Zbrush :lol:

The answer to the original question is Zero. All the polgons we experience are balanced by an equivalent number of anti-polygons. These are the ‘dark matter’ proposed by scientists to explain the structure and behaviour of galaxies. They are ‘dark’ (ie invisible) because their normals aren’t errr normal.

Obvious, really.

#22

If we do indeed sculpt in a universe of critical density then it will all eventualy collapse back to a single vertice, or singularity. When that happens the forces, not star wars forces will unify.

#23

The answer to the original question is Zero

…following the John Archibald Wheeler theory of multiple Univers :smiley:

#24

Moochie: this is cheating :D, although anti-polys do exist they not count -1, at least not until they annihilate with the ‘good’ ones (the big crunch), by that time noone of us will be speculating on this (but we will all be makin a toast at the Restaurant at the end of the universe :slight_smile: )

Aurick: this is really too eZ! I want to work at pixologic! I know C++ quite well! Just need a flat in SF…

#25

You’re all wrong. Acturally it would be one great big huge NGon.

#26

Actually I made you all up in my head so none of you really exist at all therefore a pixol is just a word and polygons are little candies made by Willy Wonka.

if the universe is continually expanding…do polygons get bigger or does the dude or dudette in charge use zbrush to make a difference mesh?

You have a very devious mind then :cool:

Oompa Loompa! sorry…

like the Allen one you’re obsessed by this paranoid worldwide conspiracy… just relax! there’s no big NGon controlling our minds:eek:
