4D Polytope Viewer — Creator LicenseSee the Fourth Dimension.
Export It to the Third.
The 4D Polytope Viewer renders four-dimensional geometry in real time using stereographic projection and true 4D rotation across 6 planes. The Creator License unlocks OBJ export for Blender and 3D printing, 4K screenshots, video capture, and seamless loop recording.
The 4D Polytope Viewer is an interactive WebGL visualization tool by Studio Pardesco. It projects 4-dimensional polytopes into 3D space using stereographic or perspective projection, with support for all 6 rotation planes (XY, XZ, XW, YZ, YW, ZW). The free viewer includes all 1,700+ polytopes. The Creator License ($9/year) adds OBJ mesh export, OBJ linework export, 4K screenshots without watermark, real-time video recording, seamless loop export, and animation JSON for Blender.
The Viewer Is Free. Exports Are Pro.
Every polytope, every rotation plane, every projection mode — completely free. The Creator License unlocks the pipeline from screen to file.

Six Export Formats. Zero Friction.
From screen to Blender in one click. From rotation to seamless loop in seconds. Every export format a creator actually needs.
OBJ Mesh Export
Export tube-geometry meshes as .OBJ files. Import directly into Blender, Cinema 4D, or slice for 3D printing. Varying-radius tubes with full UV mapping.
OBJ Linework Export
Export projected edge curves as OBJ polylines. Perfect for laser cutting, CNC engraving, or architectural line drawings of 4D forms.
4K Screenshots
Capture at current resolution, 1080p, or 4K (3840x2160). No watermark. Optional transparent background for compositing into your own artwork.
Video Recording
Record real-time 4D rotation as .webm video at 30 FPS. Up to 60 seconds per clip. Capture any rotation angle, projection type, or mesh style.
Seamless Loop Export
Frame-by-frame 360° rotation capture. Outputs a perfectly looping video for social media, presentations, or installation art.
Animation JSON
Export vertex positions per frame as JSON. Build custom animations in Blender using the included Python import script. Full 4D rotation data preserved.
What Creators Build With 4D Exports
3D Printing
OBJ ExportPrint physical 4D polytope projections. Tube geometry with varying radius creates beautiful organic forms.
Motion Design
Loop VideoSeamless 360° loops for backgrounds, intros, and social content. No keyframing needed.
Math Education
4K CaptureHigh-res screenshots and videos of specific polytopes for papers, textbooks, and presentations.
Digital Art
Transparent PNGWatermark-free captures with transparent backgrounds. Composite 4D geometry into any artwork.
Real 4D Mathematics. Not a Gimmick.
Every vertex has 4 coordinates. Every rotation happens in a true 4D plane. The projection to your screen is mathematically rigorous stereographic projection from the 4-sphere.

+ 1,694 more uniform polychora, prisms, and antiprisms
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Creator License unlock?
The Creator License unlocks all export features: OBJ mesh export (for Blender/3D printing), OBJ linework export (for laser/CNC), 4K screenshots without watermark, real-time video recording, seamless loop video export, and animation JSON export for Blender. The viewer itself — all 1,700+ polytopes, full 4D rotation, mesh/wireframe views — is free for everyone.
How long does the license last?
The Creator License is valid for 1 year from purchase. During that year you have unlimited exports with no per-use limits. When it expires, the viewer continues to work — you just lose access to the export features until you renew.
Can I use exports commercially?
Yes. Everything you export — OBJ files, screenshots, videos, animation data — is yours to use commercially. Sell 3D prints, use in client work, include in publications, post on social media. No attribution required.
What polytopes are included?
All 1,700+ polytopes in the library, including the 6 regular 4D polytopes (5-cell, tesseract, 16-cell, 24-cell, 120-cell, 600-cell), all uniform polychora, prisms, antiprisms, and many more. The full library is available to all users — the license only gates export features.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The 4D Polytope Viewer runs entirely in your browser at 4d.pardesco.com. After purchasing, you receive a license key that you enter on the activation page. No downloads, no plugins, no account creation.
What format are mesh exports?
Meshes export as .OBJ files, which are supported by virtually every 3D application: Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush, and all major slicers for 3D printing. The meshes use tube geometry with configurable radius that produces smooth, organic forms.
