This file is designed for research into 3d glyphs.
This file is designed for research into 3d glyphs. It contains the two-hexagon calibration grid expressed as a truncated and rotated cube, with the center point as the origin.
This geometry has the advantage of being unambiguous- from this position, each glyph node as expressed in our current 2d methods can be seen to have a clean 3d spatial analog.
Included in the file are all glyphs currently known, both those with theorized meanings and those without.
Use this file to experiment with views and configurations. It is a Rhinoceros file, and the demo version can be had for free at rhino3d.com (the demo can view files freely.)

Wow. Excellent work man.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't worked out the proportions. There are as far as I can see it, 3 potential layouts (original Cross Plains/Form A, new Scanner/Form B, and equilateral Metatron.)
ReplyDeleteI think there may be "false" layouts that exist to protect viewers or are corrupted.
I was going to try to influence you all by including in the file as default "Begin Journey Enlightened" but I thought the better of it :) The default is instead a clear expression of a familiar symbol compatible with this grid layout. Experiment at your own risk.
If anyone needs help using Rhino let me know. (Note that you should hide the "calibration object" if you want a better view of your glyph lines.)
ReplyDeleteYeah this is awesome man.
ReplyDeleteIt should be easy to explore alternate transformations and layouts this way.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work Jim!!
ReplyDeleteWhat program do I need in otder to open the file?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd like to know what what software is needed as well.
ReplyDelete"It is a Rhinoceros file, and the demo version can be had for free at rhino3d.com (the demo can view files freely.)"
ReplyDeleteIf you prefer another package, the Rhino demo will let you save out something like 20 times I think. So you can export it to your flavor of choice. IGES curves/polylines would be great, I think. What package do you use, I can export for you if able.
ReplyDeleteThis thing you made doesn't match the conventional calibration grid. You made it look like the Ingress logo but it isn't a glyph... The conventional glyphs are made out of a big hexagon and a small square that his center and the hexagon center are at the same point.
ReplyDeleteThe ingress logo doesn't meet the description because it has 2 hexagons one insode the other rather than a square inside a hexagon...
This is based on Anthony Castanza and Daniel Beaudoin's second glyph configuration, which allows you to draw the glyphs that are in the scanner.
