This page is about a project to create a giant poster of the 80 uniform
polyhedra.
Years ago, I downloaded a similar one from Victor
Bulatov' site.
I thought it was it was time for a new version, using the latest color
printing and raytracing techniques.
(Also, my parents wanted one in their kitchen)
This is a low resolution version:
To get a high resolution version, click on the 4 quarters of the
poster,
and you will get a quarter of the poster in high-res jpeg.
I made these poster with an adapted version of a Pov-Ray
script by By Russell Towle.
(Pov-Ray is a freeware ray trace program)
The adaptations:
-Different color for each polygon type
-Adapted coordinates so each body appears to stand on at
least 3 points on the z=0 plane.
-Played around with the lighting
- Made in ini file so Pov_Ray makes all 80 renderings batch-wise.
