In constructing stellations with Great Stella, especially those with pieces joined only at their vertices, I sometimes find it convenient to compare...

A forum for discussing current researches into polyhedra seems sorely lacking these days. So I thought I'd see if one here gathers any interest....

Just wanted to share a few of my most recent creations with you. Here are examples of a polyknot (knots with polyhedral symmetry) inspired by MC...

Hello there,

I have made a web page about near miss Johnson solids where I am collecting models made by people across the internet.
The models are...

Here's a heart-shaped polyhedron I made from paper using...

Hi there,

Robert has been kind enough to allow us to use his amazing model of the 120-cell (or more precisely of 21 of the 120 cells) to create a...

Hello there,

I have been playing with dodecahedra and found in the Stella database two Stewart's solids made only with dodecahedra:
a ring of 8...

Off topic, but I've been making music over the last few years. I just released my second official single, and made a video for it based on Voronoi...

APNGs are just animated PNGs without the tradeoffs of GIF, right? Also I want Stella4D to export an APNG directly.

Zonohedrification can generalize into any dimension except 0D, add it in the next update.

Some recent models using 3D-printed connectors for K'nex rods. Connectors modeled in OpenSCAD using vertex angles from Great Stella....

I put together a little puzzle, to count intersecting cubes. You can test your answers and I just added hints in the form of colours.

Let me...

I was browsing through some old posts in this section, when I came across a reference to Mathematical Models by Cundy & Rollet. A little later, I was...

I found this polyhedron while going through facetings of the snub tetrahedron/icosahedron. Has anyone seen this before? I find this faceting to be...

Check out some new videos of world record times being achieved over on the video page:

Amazingly fast play!

If you like my MineSweeper3D game, you may be interested in my new tile-flipping puzzle app Flippant!

Simple to play, challenging to master.

Just finished a new paper model, the small snub icosicosidodecahedron:

New member with interest in making, via CNC, wooden models of the various shapes.

Would appreciate contact with other members with similar interests

Two of my models were accepted for display at the Bridges 2016 conference in Finland in August, as shown below with a picture of one of them being...

Would it be possible for Stella to explore plane tilings as well as polyhedra?

There seem to be two approaches to tiling:

Symmetries (e.g....

Hi Rob,

Apart from doing a screen/window capture is there any way of retrieving the information in the Great Stella info window? Appreciate that...

Where you can find models of polyhedra crystallography? (cubic, trigonal etc)
They are available in stella?
thanks for the reply
thx

Hi, I am looking for a way to get polyhedra as vector out of Great Stella.
DXF export and import in AI/CDR X6 is what I already have tried but
the...

One feature that would be quite useful would be the ability to rotate and move a part of a compound. This could be used to produce interesting...

Just bought Great Stella4D. Happy to join the club of symmetrists. Having built quite a few models over the past years I am ready to tackle the...

If you purchase Stella or MineSweeper3D using PayPal before June 30th you have a chance to win $10,000. So if you've been procrastinating, now's the...

Here's a couple of not-quite near misses I created recently. They're like near misses, but maybe not quite close enough to earn the title. They're...

Hi

I've just spent a frustrating couple of hours trying to find an app that could display Stella4D 3D models on my original iPad running iOS 5.1.1....

Stella 5.1 has been released!

It's a free upgrade for existing Stella 5 users.
Improved control over background image.
More options when creating...

My question has to do with what Stella is looking for when you import a 4D off file. In your standard polychoron only two cells meet at each face. Is...

Bonjour,
j'ai remis en ligne un groupe facebook pour les polyèdres et les formes mathématiques.

I'd like to see a File > Export Net... command. This would allow you to choose a file type (DXF, AI, etc) and write the 2D nets, with separate layers...

Hi folks,

I have just created a facebook page for Stella, so if you're a facebook user, feel free to like it and help get it started.

Thanks!...

Back in 2003 there was a story about Great Stella on TV.
You can see a bunch of my paper polyhedra here too.

Rob.

At this site you can buy a 3d model of carved elements, such as:
Carved arches, carved moldings, carved coats of arms, carved capitals, carved...

This thought started a few days ago when I thought I'd try and export images of each stellation of the icosidodecahedron. I noticed there wasn't...

I've stumbled upon this little chestnut a couple of times now. I load up (or create a model) in stella and go to view and print nets, and the nets...
