Truncated Octahedron Decorated with Mandalas

The image on the squares is the same that appears two posts ago here, its color-inversion appears on the hexagons, and these were created with Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint. Projecting those images onto the larger faces of this polyhedron, and then creating this rotating .gif file, was accomplished with the use of Stella 4d, polyhedron-manipulating software you can try and/or buy at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.

Stella 4d (polyhedral manipulation software) was used to place the image in the previous post on each hexagonal face of a truncated octahedron, and the square faces were hidden. The program can do many other things as well — and you may try it for free at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.
