If any doubt remained about my nerdiness, it’s gone now.

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.

Solar Eclipses and Mandalas On a Great Rhombcuboctahedron

Credit where credit is due:

I found the eclipse picture with a Google-search.

The mandalas are the one in the previous post here (“Seventeen Circles”). I made it using Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint.

I used software called Stella 4d to assemble this onto the chosen polyhedron, and make the animated .gif file you see here. This software is available at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php, with a free trial download available.

The images on the faces are colorized versions of my last post here. This transfer was accomplished using software you can find at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.
