A Collection of Rotating Polyhedra with Cuboctahedral Symmetry

I have received a request to slow down the rotational speed of the polyhedral models I make and post here, and am going to try to do exactly that. First, though, I need to empty my collection of already-made image files which haven’t yet been posted, so that I can start again, with models which rotate more slowly, after deleting all the “speedy” ones. From my backlog of polyhedral images to post, then, here are some which have cuboctahedral symmetry.

Convex hull

Compound of jhfjhdgdtuare-based pyramids

stellated Compound of Cubocta and dual

Unnamed Duhgddal

This last one actually has the symmetry of a snub cube — a chiral variant of “normal” cuboctahedral symmetry.

All these images were created using Stella 4d:  Polyhedron Navigator. If you’d like to try this program for yourself, the website to visit for a free trial download is www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
