This polyhedron’s square faces are hidden from view, so that you can see both the front and back of the solid as it rotates. I made this using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, which you can try for yourself, free, at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

Rhombic Dodeca

The image of Saturn was taken by NASA, and I put it on the faces of a rhombic dodecahedron, and created this image, with a program called Stella 4d. You can try this program for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

I created this using Stella 4d, which you can try for free right here. It’s much like a tessellation, but in three dimensions instead of two.

In the picture above, each component of this compound has its own color. In the one below, each set of parallel faces is given a color of its own.

These images were made using Stella 4d, software you may try for yourself at this website.
