      Taff Goch has plenty of extremely cool tutorials about such shapes. ๐Ÿ‘

        You're right Gaieus,
        I know TaffGoch tutorials, they're actually a must.

        I thought however that a step-by-step description could be useful in this thread concerning geometric constructions and sculptures.

        (But you're right, they're problably off topic in the gallery, I wont post any more)

        thanks.

          Here's the last one I made (so far):

          mill3.jpg

          It is inspired (in the sense that is has the same structure, rhombic triacontahedron) to:
          George Hart's 12-Part Puzzle

          .

            I didn't mean you shouldn't post whatever you like in connection with this thread (although admittedly such a tut would be nice in the respective department as well ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

            And of course I only mentioned Taff here because - well, true, his works are a must ๐Ÿ‘

              TaffGoch also has many cool models related to George Hart's sculptures like this one:

                An idea for the holidays.

                Cut 30 pieces like this:
                image016.jpg

                Then have fun sliding them toghether to obtain this:

                http://www.georgehart.com/athens/Greece10.JPG

                Precise instructions and ready-to-print templates: here and here

                Of course, you can also obtain similar results using sketchup

                triacontahedron.jpg

                I also built one with colored thick paper and it is actually fun.

                            I have made in the past a little tut video for TopMod (sorry in French but very easy to understand ๐Ÿ˜‰
                            (maybe you must wait 15 second for download)
                            Unzip and launch inside your favorite navigatortopmod.jpg

                                You might enjoy making models of some of Bathsheba's work too -http://www.bathsheba.com.

                                Here's a model inspired to [url=http://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/metatrino/:3dwc88vc]Bathsheba's Metatrino[/url:3dwc88vc] (I didnt model many details but it has the same structure: the cube and its dual, the octahedron)

                                  The more curious is that Bathsheba describe all his works and all his numerous tools and there is not TopMod inside!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                    Nice renderings Pilou, thanks.
                                    Contributions are always wellcome.

                                    The command for connecting two faces in TopMod
                                    is actually really useful.
                                    Btw, are you a developper of TopMod?

                                      As might be deduced from the name, Bathsheba is a She. But thank you for the link. This is mind-boggling stuff. She lives near me. I'll have to see her sculptures.
