Well I wasn't serious about making it. I certainly wouldn't try!
You can simplify models yourself with stellation mode to remove small chunks that make things difficult.
I think maybe less than ten accurate models of the small inverted retro snub icosicosidodecahedron have ever been made. Even Fr ...

That error occurs during the stellation process (possibly via trying to show nets). It probably means the model being imported does not have sufficient accuracy. Stella requires double-precision floating-point accuracy. I don't know what javaview does, but if there's a way to export with 15 or more ...

Hey, sorry about this, but it looks like you have indeed found a bug! I looked a bit closer and you're right. It seems the triangles surrounding each vertex are correct, but some of the smaller triangles hanging off them have their colours swapped around. I'm surprised no one came across this before ...

I just tried it, and it seems to work for me. You're using a colour printer I take it to colour in the faces? (I mostly use coloured paper and just print the outlines). When I tell it to mix colours, each copy of the net is correctly getting a different arrangement of colours. Are you not seeing ...

I used CamStudio, an open source screen video capture program.
http://camstudio.org/
I don't suggest the "stable" 2.0 version, which is very old now and has problems. Rather download the latest beta version (2.6 as of this writing).

Yeah, I'd be interested to hear what you did. Some day I'll make a vertex-only connected model, but haven't tried it so far. Did you follow Wenninger's instructions from Polyhedron Models maybe? I think if I ever attempt one, I may thread fishing line or other thread through the connected vertices ...

I agree that paper models are ultimately the best, but they do take longer to make of course.
And yes, I used Stella to create the model in my avatar and print its nets. Read about that model here:

There are quite a few similar products around. The only ones I've had direct contact with are GeoShapes, aka GeoAustralia, and GeoMag. The former snaps together while the latter is magnetic. Both have hollow transparent faces with panels that fit in, which makes them a bit different from Polydron ...

I've been thinking of trying my hand at making a video tutorial for a while. This seemed like a good example, so I made a video! I started a new thread to announce/discuss it, so please comment there. http://software3d.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?p=877
Thanks,
Rob.

Video showing how to replace each part of a compound.
Hi guys,
I just made my first video tutorial about Stella. You can see it here: http://www.software3d.com/TuteNewCompounds.php
It's not really a beginner's tutorial. I should make some introductory ones sometime. This one shows a way to replace each part of a compound with a different shape.
