Omnidirectional Night-Eyes

Posted on 29 July 2014 by RobertLovesPi

This is the fourth in a series of posts, each of which builds upon the others. The images in the prior three posts were created using Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint. For this one, I used Stella 4d to project the most recent of these images of each pentagonal face of an icosidodecahedron, and then rendered the triangular faces invisible. (Stella 4d is available for sale, with a free trial download available, at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.)

Stained Glass Window from the Church of the Sun

If there actually is a Church of the Sun somewhere, they have my permission to use this as a design for a stained glass window, free of charge. It’s based on a semi-regular tessellation of the plane which uses regular dodecagons, squares, and triangles.
