Line 17: An alternative way for [[polyhedral compound]] models is to use a different colour for each polyhedron component. Net templates are then made. One way is to copy templates from a polyhedron-making book, such as [[Magnus Wenninger]]'s ''[[List of Wenninger polyhedron models\|Polyhedron Models]]'', 1974 ({{ISBN \|0-521-09859-9}}). A second way is drawing faces on paper or with [[computer-aided design]] software and then drawing on them the polyhedron's [[Edge (geometry)\|edge]]s. The exposed nets of the faces are then traced or printed on template material. A third way is using the software named ''[[Stella (software)\|Stella]]'' to print nets. A model, particularly a large one, may require another polyhedron as its inner structure or as a construction mold. A suitable inner structure prevents the model from collapsing from age or stress. Line 26: ==Interactive computer models== Recent [[computer graphics]] technologies allow people to rotate 3D polyhedron models on a computer video screen in all three dimensions. Recent technologies even provide shadows and [[texture (computer graphics)\|textures]] for a more realistic effect. ==See also== [[Polyhedron]] [[List of Wenninger polyhedron models]] ==External links== [http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php Stella: Polyhedron Navigator]: Software to explore virtual polyhedra and print their nets to enable physical construction [https://web.archive.org/web/20050403235101/http://ibiblio.org/e-notes/3Dapp/Convex.htm Interactive 3D polyhedra in Java] [http://bulatov.org/polyhedra/wooden/ Wooden Polyhedra Models] [http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/vp.html George Hart's extensive encyclopedia of polyhedra] [http://www.georgehart.com/pavilion.html George Hart's Pavilion of Polyhedreality] [http://polyhedra.org Online rotatable polyhedron models] *[http://woodenpolyhedra.web.fc2.com/woodenpolyhedra30.html WOODEN POLYHEDRA 30] [[Category:Recreational mathematics]]
