The image on the faces of these polyhedra appeared, in black and white form, in the last post here. I used Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint to make it. It took a third program, Stella 4d, to project the image onto each face of a rhombic dodecahedron (as seen above), as well as the rhombic dodecahedron’s first stellation (below), and then generate these rotating .gif images. You can try Stella for free, as a trial download, at www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
I made this using Stella 4d, which you can try at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
The icosidodecahedron’s 24th stellation is above, and the 32nd, then the 36th, are below.
I made these images using Stella 4d, a program you can find at www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
Above is this polyhedral stellation in three colors. If every face is given its own color, though, except for parallel faces, it looks like this (click to enlarge):
I made both images using Stella 4d, a program you can find at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
This is the dual of the polyhedron seen as the second image in the last post on this blog. If colored differently, so that only parallel faces have the same color, it looks like this (click to enlarge):
I used Stella 4d to make these images, and you can find that program at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
I created this using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, a program you can find athttp://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

The next image was produced by rendering all the blue faces above invisible, and then changing the color-scheme to “rainbow color mode.” For both of these stellated polyhedra, the convex hull would simply be an icosidodecahedron (not shown here).
These images were both created using Stella 4d, which you can try and/or buy at www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
Both of these were created using Stella 4d, available at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php. To enlarge the second image, simply click on it.
