Daniel Haehn’s 3D version was not satisfying to me, so I dug in and figure out what I thought it should look like:

This retains the spirit of the original, in this sense: it divides space into a grid of cubes; each cube contains a rotation of a single shape; the whole mass forms a series of intertwining, twisty tunnels. Of course it’s much harder to follow an individual tunnel, unless you have 4D eyes.

You can see what the individual cell shape looks like by turning up the “Spacing” slider. There are eight rotations — or rather, four rotations and four mirror-reflections of them.
