Nanodots Sphere (icosidodecahedron) 300 Dots


My obsessions with making more spheres. Here is an attempt to build a sphere based on a icosidodecahedron (32 sided) polyhedron.

It consist of 20 triangles (6 dots each) for a total of 120 dots. And 12 pentagons (15 dots each) for a total of 180 dots, bringing the grand total of 300 dots.


Polyhedron

While playing with Nanodots and learning through lots of Tutorial videos from YouTube, I realized lots of big words that they used. Since I am NOT a mathematician, I decided to Google up what each of these words mean....

Polyhedron is a three-dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons, usually joined at their edges.

However the interesting part is not the polyhedron, but all the other polyhedron that exist. The following is the list
