Hi Jason,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:8-cell-simple.gif is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on November 9, 2007. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2007-11-09. Sorry about the delay there. After its replacement, it fell off my radar, but better late than never! :) howcheng {chat} 00:30, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Awesome

I've been drawing the little hypercube representation for years now, I've never seen it animated. Truly beautiful!

[edit] 24-cell animation

Hi, I just wanted to say, great job with the 24-cell animation! I like it.—Tetracube 04:35, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Tag image?

You tag the image on the "Image:Imagename" page, and it seems you've released the rights to the image perfectly as of looking at it now. Awesome work. Sorry if anything I said confused or alarmed you in any way or degree - Wikipedia has to be careful about the licensing of the images it displays.

[edit] Tesseract

Please take this as just a constructive criticism. The tesseract you created isn't as easy to understand as this one, as yours is rotating in two ways, but this picture is obviously inferior in quality to yours. I wondered if it would be too hard for you to remove the superfluous rotation. Mrug2 18:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mrug2. I know what you mean, and I did ask for suggestions on Talk:Tesseract, so thank you. I've posted a response to your message there. — JasonHise 01:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier - I've only just seen the new picture. Yes, it's great. Well done - Mrug2 18:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More polychora coming?

Do you plan to create and upload similar animations for the 120-cell and 600-cell? If you did, that would be awesome!

Ah yes, and...

Thanks for the props :) Plans are in the works for a 120 cell and 600 cell, as well as a few others (Maybe the 11-cell?) but due to college work, these are on the back burner until after this current semester is over. JasonHise 18:50, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] congrats

hey, congrats on your animations! they are truly awesome! ▓░ Dark Devil ░▓ ( Talk ♥ Contribs ) 11:45, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unessesary reflections?

Hey Jason, I absolutely love your pretty pictures of 4D stuff. I can't stop staring at them. However, I just noticed that the opaque planes connecting the lines and points of said objects have reflections in them. I was trying to understand the 24-cel, and it was when I looked at the hypercube when I realized there was a lot of relection going on. The reflection no doubt looks cool, but I think this is a case of form inhibiting function, which , as far as I'm concerned, should never happen. If looking cool affects the scientific (or whatever) information one can derive about 4D objects, well, it's simply not a good thing. Could you perhaps make a 24-cel without the reflections just to see what it looks like?

[edit] POTD cancellation

Hi Jason,

It has come to my attention that your Featured Picture Image:Tesseract.gif no longer appears in the Tesseract article. It seems to me that if it's not good enough for the article of its subject, then it probably shouldn't be a Featured Picture either. Accordingly, I've canceled its POTD appearance and have nominated it to be replaced by one of the other two tesseract animations you have in the article. Please see Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image:Tesseract.gif for the discussion. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 23:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:8-cell.gif

What is the purpose of all the reflections in this image? Please reply at Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates#Current_nominations and add any useful info to the image talk page. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-06-05 14:40Z

[edit] Zoetrope view request

Hi, could you kindly create a zoetrope like view (just a succession of static pictures, displayed in a grid) of the 4d objects? I think it'll help in understanding them. Thanks. --Amit 12:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I do not currently have time. They are simple gif images though, so I would not object to anyone extracting frames from them to make such an image. JasonHise 19:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

The images that you have contributed are absolutely mind-blowing. I have essentially been dumbfounded from staring at them for the past hour and a half. Thanks for these contributions... you're making Wikipedia an even more interesting place. - Prezboy1 20:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How?

Hey, i really like what you do, but i'm a little confused. I know 3DS max and maya quite well, but I have no clue how you do those pictures. Do you use a plugin of some sorts or do you fake the rotation by applying transformations on your model? Because i'm pretty damn sure these programs only deal with three axies =P (Epgui (talk) 01:39, 5 December 2007 (UTC))

To accomplish this in Maya, I actually set up a MEL script for each cluster that serves as a vertex. The MEL scripts were rather similar, and differed only in what initial x, y, z, and w I associated with them. The rotation and the projection were done completely with code.
