    Unity 4D #2: Extending Unity to 4D

    This article will show how to extend Unity to support four-dimensional geometry. This is the second article in a series of four, and the first one which will probably start discussing the Mathematics and the C# code necessary to store and manipulate 4D objects in Unity. You can find all the articles in this series…

    Unity 4D #1: Understanding the Fourth Dimension

    This is the first part of a series of articles dedicated to extending Unity from 3D to 4D. In this instalment, we will explore the fourth dimension, from its representations in movies and video games, to its more mathematical and geometrical interpretations. At the end of the series, you will learn how to create and…

  • Exoplanet Catalogue

    Exoplanet Catalogue

    An exoplanet is a planet that orbits another star other than the Sun; since 1988, more than 4,300 of them have been confirmed. This catalogue provides a visual way to visualise exoplanets in their solar systems, together with their habitable zones. The data comes from the NASA Exoplanet Archive and it only includes all the…

    Exoplanetary Orrery V

    An exoplanet is a planet that orbits another star other than the Sun; since 1988, approximately 2000 of them have been confirmed. This post, inspired by Ethan Kruse‘s Kepler Orrery IV, visualises and animates exoplanets, together with their habitable zones. The data comes from the NASA Exoplanet Archive and it only includes the confirmed exoplanets with known…
