Everyone,
You have seen the progress of this puzzle in the original Teraminx topic. However now that it is finished I'd like to present the final images and video in its own topic. The video has been processed and is linked below!

You are a rock drew, this amount of work done so quickly, i can't even begin to imagine the hours of work you put in here. Fantastic!

what are you going to do with so many Tera's?? perhaps planning on selling them??

Jin H Kim · **Posted:** Fri Aug 22, 2008 1:58 am

There's easily 20 or 30 dollars total on that table there behind the stickered teraminx. I'm willing to take them all off your hands for about twice that.

Amazing, beautiful work Drewseph. Awe inspiring.

But... I can't help notice the shadows on this picture:

The bottom right unstickered Teraminx' shadow cuts off right where the top right starts (top of the shadow), and there is a small line of lighter pixels between the shadow and the top/right puzzle

The bottom center has no shadow where the others do.

Note also the strong shadow on the bed of only the bottom left Teraminx, not the top left.

It isn't April 1st, but perhaps some legs are being pulled?

Dave

P.S. We need to get one of my Kilominx in the family picture

Terraminxific!!!

I was sure it would look a lot more glorious with the stickers on.

Stop it already! Have you even realised what have done?
You built 7 Teraminxes!
T-E-R-A-M-I-N-X-E-S !

I can't believe this. What the heck is going on?^^
AWESOME. You rock.

Dave,

AWESOME!

I left that little bit of shadow cut short just for someone like you =)

Its fair to say that yes that picture is Photo-shopped and there are only 3 assembled Teraminxs' and only one of them is stickered ^_^ However, in 2 months this image won't be a lie anymore. think of this as a picture from the future.

How long do you think it will be now before this family of puzzles is mass marketed?

Wow, if you put one of them on ebay, wonder how much would be the final price. 1500? 2000? 3000? or more?

Whoah.

I'd like to know how that program works

Notoday · **Posted:** Fri Aug 22, 2008 9:31 am

Holy crap. It's beautiful :shock:

Sure, there may be "only" three (as if 3 is a small amount or something haha), but the three that you have are great and it looks even better when stickered. Turns like a pro, too!

*Only* three. Geez, you've been slacking off.

Maybe this whole pastic injection molding is a big waste of money. Why spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on steel molds when you can just buy Drewseph a Jolt and a Pizza and pump out a Teraminx in an evening!

Because i like pizza... And drewseph doesn't share!

when I finish the only 6 others I plan on making I will sell them, no sooner. The current one will be auctioned off first week of September some time.

Also it should be noted that its impractical to mass produce these. the assembly time alone if ridiculously long and I don't think I can sell it, since it uses a modified V-cube mech. though the patents limit it to a cube, it just seems wrong without asking Verdes about mass production

Justin · **Posted:** Fri Aug 22, 2008 1:27 pm

Absolutely fantastic! Looks amazing in it's final stickered form and looking at the video, turns really well. Congratulations!

You design super-complex puzzles, build them at super-human speeds and bring us pictures from the future.

I've worked it out 8-)

Especially the picture with 7 of them!
Wow!
Fantastic job!

What if you sent one to Verdes and had him look at the designs and then maybe have him make some.

I've heard that they have no interest in the dodecahedron.
It's unfortunate

ejisfun · **Posted:** Fri Aug 22, 2008 9:09 pm

Why don't we just start with the gigaminx and see how that goes? It would be a little easier to make.

Slow down, we dont need to be rushing into things!

I'm just saying that the it makes sense to release the gigaminx before the teraminx, as the 5x5 was before the 7x7.

This is beyond anything.. can this be puzzle of the year? I am stunned to see it with stickers :shock:

Now scramble it!

timselkirk · **Posted:** Sat Aug 23, 2008 10:52 am

What a beauty! Superlative failure error!

It makes the gigaminx look like child's play..... and the megaminx like baby's play!

The stickering is great, the round corners add to it. Must have taken absolutely ages.

Congratulations on such a beautiful result.

Draconic · **Joined:** Sun Apr 27, 2008 9:58 am

I think we should make a simple megaminx using the V-cube mechanism.

Already a step ahead of you on that one........

don't expect anything for a few months though
