cube in a cube/cube in a cube in a cube

[knuckles4204204]

I've been trying to figure out this pattern for a while, finally gave in and looked up a tut (
redkb's) and i watched like 10 times, and done the exact algs, but for some reason it always fails, can somebody post working algs, and break it down a little better if his algs are correct? (I'm not a noob, just not very good with patterns lol
) :fp

Do you mean this?

Cube in a cube
F L F U' R U F2 L2 U' L' B D' B' L2 U (18q*, 15f*)

Cube in a cube in a cube
U' L' U' F' R2 B' R F U B2 U B' L U' F U R F' (20q*, 18f)

Whats the 18q* , 15f* ?

doesn't work, i can see where it almost worked, but it failed

It does work. You must be doing it wrong I'm afraid.

q - quarter turns
f - face turns (I think)

Check up the notation, see if you do for example D moves right, if not, then that's the reason.

I'm doing it from solved state, so i have to repeat it, or what? because all I'm doing is the alg exactly how it is, both together

I have my annotations wrote down because i haven't completely learned 4x4 parity yet

 

[~Adam~]

1st alg is cube in cube.
2nd is cube in cube in cube.

 

[knuckles4204204]

1st alg is cube in cube.
2nd is cube in cube in cube.

I can get the inner cube in a cube, but the outer layers aren't correct

Learn to solve parity before messing around with patterns. Use your time wisely

Have you applied the 2nd alg to a solved cube? If you have then you've probably just failed to perform a turn or 2 correctly.

 

[knuckles4204204]

Learn to solve parity and learn basic cubing terms before messing around with patterns. Use your time wisely

.-. I know cubing terms, just not the advanced ones, and i have all the parity figured out except the huge edge swap parity

Maybe youre doing something wrong then.
Those algorithms definitely work.

Make a video showing us what you are doing, and then we can help better.

Nah, too much trouble for a CIAC pattern, just forget it, not a big deal anyway

Yeah, sorry, I edited my last post to remove the "cubing terms" part. The "huge edge swap" alg isn't that hard to learn even though it is a tad long All i'm saying is; if you're planning on speed solving the 4x4x4, then I would recommend getting fluent in parity solving and solving in general before "wasting" time with patterns. That's just my humble opinion though, no offense intended.

None taken, but this pattern is for 3x3, not 4x4

Oh...

Actually you were right, video would be to much trouble:
