I suspect that this could be continued outward indefinitely, as a radial and aperiodic tessellation, using only the four polygons you see, repeatedly, here. However, I have no proof of this.

Can you find the irregularities in the coloring-pattern? If so, please describe them in a comment.

Great Rhombcuboctahedron with Red and Blue Mandalas

Great Rhombcuboctahedron with Red and Blue Mandalas

The design on the faces first appeared in the last post, and was made using Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint.

I used Stella 4d, another program, to put this design (as a colorized version) on the octagonal and hexagonal faces of this great rhombcuboctahedron, and then render the square faces of this polyhedron invisible. This program is available at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.

Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint were used to create a black-and-white version of the flat image (seen in the previous post) on each face of this dodecahedron. The rest of the work to made this 3-d rotating image was done with Stella 4d, which you can try for yourself at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

See http://www.software3d.com/stella.php to download a trial or fully-functioning version of the program (Stella 4d) I used to create this rotating image of a dodecahedron. Any image can be placed on a polyhedron’s faces with this program; this one appears two posts ago, and was made using Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint.
