I am interested in finding out what techniques people use for rendering
4 dimesional objects, ie: techniques that help one visualise such beasts.

At the moment I do things like look at 2D projections, generate contour
solids, and colour (yes thats how we spell it down here) depth cueing of
wireframe images. I do this for the 4D equivalents of the cube, tetrhedron,
octahedron, prism, and pyramid. I would like to extend it to a sphere and
the torus.

Thanks in advance.
