Auld’s List of Useful Links for 4k Inspiration and Development

None of these links is about 4k development. Instead they are a collection of things which could be useful in some adapted form.

• Paul Bourke’s Pages. Probably inspired more 4ks than anything else. Use the dialogue box in bottom left to chose your subject. Surfaces is a good place to start.
• Implicit surfaces Tool
• Useful Maths equations
• 3D-XplorMath
• Evaldraw - Tool for evaluating 2d and 3d equations
• Mandelbrot++ Dont forget to check out the 4d examples
