Compound of Four Elongated Tetrahedra

To make this, I started with a dodecahedron, dropped the symmetry of the model from icosahedral to tetrahedral, then stellated it five times. Finally, I chose “color as a compound” for the color-settings. I did this using Stella 4d, software you can try for free right here: http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
