You'd like their other work :

https://ciechanow.ski/lights-and-shadows/

https://ciechanow.ski/gears/

https://ciechanow.ski/tesseract/

Etc.

Check out the whole blog! It's amazing.

These are some of the most intuitive explanations coupled with the slickest animation / demo work I've ever seen. All of that put together into crystal clear educational material is such a rare gem and requires incredible talent.

Impressive as hell.

I hope someone is paying them to do this full time. I'd pay for this.

And the articles renders so fast and so smooth on my laptop. In fact they render more smoothly and loads faster than 99% of all much much less technically advanced articles out there. Wow!

The final words on the Tesseract page are lovely!

> I find it very inspiring that while we can’t physically experience a four dimensional space, with just a bit of ingenuity we can easily simulate how a tesseract and its shadow would look in our day-to-day world.

> You may find math’s indifference to the limitations of our human perception quite cruel, but I think it’s liberating. Reflecting on higher dimensions is transcendent – it removes the shackles of the physical world and allows us to explore the realms we’ll never encounter.

Regarding the lights and shadows articles, how they hell are they getting raytraced-quality lighting, with no noise, with changes to the scene in realtime?? Are these all pre-rendered PNGs?
