A Compound of Three Non-Regular Square Diyramids

Compound of Three Non-Regular Square Diyramids

The only irregularity to be found here is that the faces of the dipyramids are isosceles, not equilateral.

The Latest Stop in a Polyhedral Journey

The Latest Stop in a Polyhedral Journey

After the last post, I did many things with the polyhedron I had — too many to remember the exact sequence — and I ended up with this. I wish I could remember the exact route I took to get here!

The Eighth Stellation of the Dual of the Expanded Rhombic Dodecahedron

The expanded rhombic dodecahedron is in the last post. It took just a bit to turn it into this — using Stella 4d, software you can find at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.

Expanded Rhombic Dodecahedron

Expanded Rhombic Dodecahedron

To make this, a rhombic dodecahedron had each of its faces augmented with prisms, and the I took the convex hull of the resulting figure. This polyhedron has fifty faces, all but eight of which are quadrilaterals.

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.
