R B2 D' B D R2 B R D' F' D2 R' F' R F2 D' 16 turns so far looking for a better solution but this is what I have so far.

That is the unique optimal solution (mod M, and half turn metric). You can rotate this in three different ways to get the same position.

And there 8 types of cubes which have this "small T" pattern on all 6 faces.

The cube

B L' R2 F2 D2 U2 F D' L' R B2 F' D2 L2 R2 U' R' U' (18f*)

for example is of symmetry type S6 and also looks nice.

This is really interesting. The patterns are the same, but the cycle structures are different. Please post the other ones too, so that I can examine them.

I encourage you to do this by yourself. Use the Pattern Editor of Cube Explorer and you will find all 8 types + optimal generators if you want. If you open the Symmetry Editor Tab afterwards and "highlight" a cube in the Main Window, the symmetries and antisymmetries (if any) are given too.

Yeah.. My solver sucks balls... I know

Use comms - it'll be 2 corner comms, a 2 corner flip and an edge comm (maybe 35-40 moves but very intuitive. Or do R L' U D' and move some edges around. Or use cube explorer (which will solve it in less than 20 but it will be a random jumble of moves to memo)

This is usually how I do most pretty patterns... Although I have memorized some of them (like the cube in a cube).

For this pattern:

Cycle 3 ce pairs:
R - d (F' U2 F) d' (F' U2 F) - R'

Cycle 3 corners:
B - (L' D2 L) U (L' D2 L) U' - B'

Rotate 2 corners (shifted comm):
y' R D2 R' F U2 F' R D2 R' F U2 F'

Oh, not that type of pattern. I found this while playing around with the cube:
M2 U' M2 U2 M2 U' M2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R' U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R y z2 M' U2 M

Cool Patterns.

Start a page in the wiki, like the [wiki]OLL[/wiki] or the [wiki]PLL[/wiki] page, with links to the applet...

Or, I just did; [wiki]Pretty Patterns[/wiki]

Ok, al cube patterns is already discovered but i will post a simple one to do that most cubers i showed it to has missed anyway. Just do R L y x6. To change the pattern into a Z-pattern just du U2 and D2.

Do you have a pattern and you want it to be implemented but after the cube has been scrambled? Just put a picture up of a pattern and tell people to try and get it (Note: Cannot be patterns such as checkerboard, center-switching, etc.)

 

[cmhardw]

If I understand you correctly, then I sometimes do this. For fun I sometimes solve the cube from scrambled directly into the superflip, and sometimes even into the super-superflip. It's a lot of fun actually!

Super-superflip? That sounds pretty hardcore.

 

[TiLiMayor]

I like the looks of the cube in a cube in a cube but have never learned the alg to do it so I just make it out of a scrambled cube.

 

[souljahsu]

lol I do that when I'm bored too. Except I twist the two opposite 2x2s with: U2 F2 R2 U' L2 D (B R')*3 D' L2 U'
after that I do the corner twists with a commutator.
