The Eighteenth Stellation of the Rhombicosidodecahedron Is an Interesting Polyhedral Compound
The 18th stellation of the icosidodecahedron, shown above, is also an interesting compound. The yellow component of this compound is the rhombic triacontahedron, and the blue-and-red component is a “stretched” form of the truncated icosahedron. This was made using Stella … Continue reading

The Equal-Edge-Length, Pyramid-Augmented Rhombicosidodecahedron
The only difference between these two images is that the lower one is in “rainbow color mode.” Both were created using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at this website. I once made a physical model of this … Continue reading

Ten Different Facetings of the Rhombicosidodecahedron
This is the rhombicosidodecahedron. It is considered by many people, including me, to be the most attractive Archimedean solid. To create a faceted polyhedron, the first step is to get rid of all the faces and edges, leaving only the … Continue reading

The Cubic Rhombicosidodecahedroid
I call the polyhedron above the cubic rhombicosidodecahedroid because it combines a cube’s six squares (shown in green) with the overall appearance of a rhombicosidodecahedron. For comparison, the latter two polyhedra are shown below. I made these rotating images using … Continue reading

A Flock of Rhombicosidodecahedra
It’s a little-known fact that rhombicosidodecahedra prefer to fly in flocks of sixty, as seen here. I made this using Stella 4d, available at this website.
