Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint were both used to make the images on the faces of this polyhedron, and then Stella 4d was used to put it all together and create this rotating image. Stella may be bought, and/or tried for free, at www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
I used Stella 4d to make this image, and you can find that program at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
When I tweet a link to this blog-post as @robertlovespi, it will likely be quickly retweeted by @hexagonbot, simply because of the term “hexagon” being included in the tweet. What I don’t understand: Why do other polygons not have bots of their own?

These were all derived in various ways from the polyhedra seen in the last two posts. The rest are smaller at first, but each can be enlarged with a single click of your mouse. Each of them has icosidodecahedral symmetry.

Click on the smaller pictures, if you wish to enlarge them, one at a time.
Those last two were duals of each other. The next two are as well.
These next two are duals, as are the pair that follows them.
I’ll finish with one more dual pair.
All of these were made using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, which is available at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
Medium: electrons and photons, arranged carefully using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, software I bought at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php. There is a free trial download available at the same website.

After using Google to find the image of this galaxy, I used software called Stella 4d (available at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php) to project it onto the twelve pentagonal faces of an icosidodecahedron, and then hid the triangular faces, as well as the vertices and edges — and then set the galaxies to rotate on the faces, as well as around the axis of the polyhedron.
