Screenshots from dim4.
dim4 was a competitor in the 1996
Driven 4k demo
competition. It consists of four screens, each containing a rotating
4-dimensional image and four views of the 3-dimensional analog, with
a tune playing in the background. As the demo progresses the screen
gradually fills with the rotating images, until the screen is a wall
of rotating objects. The demo gets around 15-25 fps, depending
on the object (object 3 = slowest, object 4 = fastest). See
the Fridge for links to the binaries, and the C=Hacking writeup.

Cubes and their 4-dimensional analogs.
Octahedrons.
A 14-sided object (remember the space station
from Elite?). The 4D analog contains 32 points and 96 lines.
Tetrahedrons.
