I don't know if any of you have read "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" (more here) by Edwin A. Abbott. I first heard of it when reading "The Shadow Guests" by Joan Aiken, in which it gets a mention. It is an interesting exploration of a world that exists only in 2 dimensions, the x and y axis only.
Anyway, I decided to try to simulate what it would look like to live in Flatland using my 3D animation software. The simulation gives you a Flatlandian view, and the view we get, as beings in the realm of 3 dimensions.
I think I prefer to have the insight of 3D.
P.s. I have just learned that a film has been made, based on the book: http://www.flatlandthefilm.com/index.php
