I used three programs to make this: Stella 4d, Geometer’s Sketchpad, and MS-Paint. You can try Stella for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

Another Octagon-Tessellation
I’ve lost count of how many tessellations of octagons have appeared here. This might be the fifth one.
Cluster of 33 Icosidodecahedra
There’s one icosidodecahedron at the center of this cluster, with more icosidodecahedra attached to each of the central figure’s 32 faces. In the first version, the coloring is simply based as the number of sides for each face.
In the next picture, the coloring is by face-type (position in the overall cluster).
The last image shown here has the cluster in “rainbow color mode.”
I used Stella 4d to make these — a program you may try for free right here.
Tessellation of Regular Pentagons and Tetraconcave Octagons
I saw a tessellation similar to this on Facebook, and used Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint to re-create it with colors of my own choosing.

A Rhombicosidodecahedron, with the Square Faces Rendered Invisible
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.
Saturnian Rhombic Dodecahedron
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.
