This is the rhombic dodecahedron, one of the Catalan solids.
Now here’s the same polyhedron, but with the three-valent vertices truncated, exposing eight triangular faces.
Here’s what it looks like with only the six four-valent vertices truncated.
Finally, here’s the fully truncated rhombic dodecahedron.
I created these polyhedra using Stella 4d, a program you can try for free right here.




must be interesting to figure out how the end result will look

how do you do the valence-3 truncation?

It’s been over a year since I made this post, and I simply don’t remember how I did that!
