Nowhere near enough!

Hey folks,

This is where a rice cracker with personality meets polyhedra. Hmm, hard to explain so just see for yourself. There's even a facebook group.

Thanks for reporting it. I've deleted them now. Spammers seem to get through more often now than they used to, but I tend to find them and delete them within a few days. Their IP address is now banned too.

Yes, I think a Stella Octangula is what was meant by star tetrahedron. Another easy way to make one is to facet a cube. Enter faceting mode, with a faceting preview view open, and create a triangular facet using the three vertices that neighbour any vertex. The preview should show what you want, so ...

Gladysila, this is the wrong place to ask about Blender. This forum is for the software called Great Stella and Stella4D. I'm sure Blender must have its own forum somewhere.

You've probably got stellationo vertices turned on too. Use Shift+V to turn those on or off (just V for the normal vertices).

I have no plan to add hyperbolic polyhedra or tilings.

Don't really have plans to add tilings in general either, except you can already augment polyhedra together to create tilings. Well, in 3D anyway.

Sorry, I don't follow what you mean. By black lines you mean showing edges? I can show/hide edges just fine for those models. And what do you mean that it "deletes a Stella4D that is open"? Do you mean that if you have two running at once then the other one shuts down? Again, doesn't happen for me. ...

I'm still here! It's nice to see new models being made. Yeah that one looks like a challenge! How did you get the last piece in? I see you put a five-part section in last, but I can't imagine the concave tabs could be squashed together very easily. If it were me, I'd probably have put a 15-part sect...

Seems there is a wikipedia page on it. It only applies to certain types of polyhedra (ones where each face has an even number of sides). But more generally, you just want to create a faceting of an existing polyhedron. You can do that with faceting mode. See the manual and read the Faceting Mode sec...

Oops, my bad! OK, the right link is there now. This means users of the demo can download the new demo version too.

Thanks for the feedback re Windows 7!

Hey guys, Just uploaded MineSweeper3D 2.5.2. For paid players, run your current version and choose "Help->Check for Updates Now" to get the new one. Demo version will take a few weeks to upload at download.com. The main change is that after you hit a mine, you'll be able to see clearly which mines y...

Hmm, BBcode should work fine. It is enabled. Hey you know what, turns out I added that colour change more recently than the last released version. There was one other minor change. I've just uploaded a new version, so now it should do what you want! Run your current version and choose "Help->Check f...

You mean after losing a game? The ones you flagged show mines on a green tile. The ones you didn't flag show mines on a grey tile.

Is that what you were after?

Rob.

I'm not sure what you mean by "alternate". What is it you want to do exactly? Can you give an example?

Stella5D - unlikely. There's still plenty for me to do in 3D and 4D!
