An Augmented Icosidodecahedron

Augmented Icosidodecahedron

You can’t see the icosidodecahedron here, for it is hidden in the center. Each of its triangular faces is augmented with an icosahedron, and each of its pentagonal faces is augmented with a dodecahedron.

I bought this program, Stella 4d, years ago, and have never regretted it. It is one of the most powerful tools available for doing work at the intersection of art and mathematics.

Icosidodecahedral Nulloid

Icosidodecahedral Nulloid

Like all nulloids, this has zero volume. It may be seen as six intersecting, regular decagons. Some consider nulloids a subset of polyhedra; others do not.

I made this using Stella 4d, which you can find at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.

In this polyhedron, there are, easily visible, twenty light blue faces which are equilateral triangles. Inside the polyhedron (and therefore harder to spot) are thirty purple faces which are Golden rectangles, along with twelve large, orange regular pentagonal faces.
