A Non-Convex, Pyritohedral Dodecahedron with Non-Convex Pentagonal Faces

I created this using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php. Starting with the Platonic dodecahedron, I dropped the symmetry of the model down from icosahedral to tetrahedral, then stellated it six times. I also put the resulting polyhedron into “rainbow color mode” before making this .gif image.

Here’s a net for this solid. To build it, you’ll need six copies of this net.

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.

Stars, Pentagons, and Rhombi #2

This is an expansion of the last post here. It may be possible to continue this tiling outward indefnitely, forming an aperioidic tiling — or it may not. I am simply uncertain about this

Tessellation of Blue Triangles and Yellow Concave Pentagons

Alternately, this can be seen as a tessellation of blue diconcave hexagons and yellow triconcave enneagons. Which do you see?

A Polyhedron Made of Enneagons and Pentagons

20-enneagons-and-6012-pentagons

This polyhedron has 20 enneagons and 12+60=72 pentagons (of two types) as faces. I made it using Stella 4d, which is available at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
