Rhombic Triacontahedron Featuring Octadecagonal Designs On Its Faces

The octagonal design on each face appears in the last post here, and was made using both Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint. After cropping this image, I projected it onto the faces of this polyhedron, the rhombic triacontahedron, using Stella 4d, a program you can try for yourself at http://www.software3d.com/php.

The image on each face of this rhombic triacontahedron is the one found in the previous post here, named Ten Circles, and was created with the use of two programs, Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint.

Placing this image on each face of this polyhedron, as well as creating this rotating .gif file, required use of a third program, Stella 4d. This program may tried and/or purchased at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.

This rhombic triacontahedron is decorated with the image found in the last post, which I made using Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint. Projecting it on the faces, colorizing them, and making this rotating .gif were all done using another program, Stella 4d, which can be found here — http://www.software3d.com/stella.php — with a free trial download available.

I don’t usually post nets for the polyhedra I make, but I’m making an exception for this one:
