Back in the day, I made a couple of demos where a Hamiltonian path is carved out on a polyhedron. Looking back, I started to wonder about the shape left around the path, and what it means in terms of graph theory. I call this shape the "dual complement" of the path.

The dual of a polyhedron is essentially the result of turning faces into vertices and vice versa. This is shown in the first clip with a snub dodecahedron and its dual, the pentagonal hexecontahedron; to keep the view cleaner, I'm only showing the edges of one at a time.

The duality transformation also affects the edges, but their number remains the same, and there's a 1:1 mapping between the original and dual edges. Each dual edge "cuts through" the original. To make the dual complement of a path, I remove the dual counterpart of each edge in the path, leaving only the stuff on the sides. It's like driving a snow plough along the path, leaving walls of snow on the sides.

For the final view, I combine original Hamiltonian paths with their dual complements.

Found the very first #3D Modeling program I ever used circa 1992, "3D-Edit."
It came with a bunch of shareware on a 105MB hard disk I got from my parents that year. The program itself was released in 1986.

A while ago I made a video about the docking scenes in multiple Elite-games. It is a nice summary how 3D graphics evolved it 30 years:

Silicon Graphics defined high-performance computing for visual effects and 3D graphics in the 90s. Their workstations powered CGI in Jurassic Park and Terminator 2, and they helped pioneer OpenGL, still a standard in graphics today.

What is the deal with Unreal Engine 1 having shadows on character models in dim light being pitch black while the highlights are very bright?
This is happening with all UE1 engine games, but also many Quake 2 engine games, and other games from the time like System Shock 2 and Anarchy Online. So I don't think it's an artistic choice by the developers but a technical limitation.
