Model Connected to VES: 175 Assignment: Exploring Stellation
A) Make a stella octangula. Is this a space filler? If you put the stella octangula inside of a cube, what volume fraction is taken up by this solid?
B) Now we will experiment with degenerate stellation. Remember that degenerate truncation is a process where an edge disappears, we will stellate until the height of your stellation is such that the combination of stellated faces creates new faces, i.e. the original face is “lost”. If you degenerately stellate the octahedron, what solid do you get?
