I have 3-4 days to comeplete this logo i'm making in povray
http://www.chisp.net/~cool6000/anon2.jpg

and I need a solid faceted buckyball shape for part of it. (not balls
and sticks, or line models of buckyballs.)  I need the shape to recreate
the geodesic domes on the Satellite of Love from Mystery Science Theater
3000: http://www.chisp.net/~cool6000/sol.jpg

does anybody reading this know of any utilities or pov source code, or
any tips on creating a shape like this from scratch in povray? Or
anything at all that would help me acheive that shape quickly will be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance-

Bret Slivka

It's a twelvesided Polyhedron that is called I think to rember
Dodecahedron(?).
There was a posting of Polyhedrons in these groups in the last three
month that included a include file.

It's 

the polyhedral.zip from S.R.Hall

posted 15th of February at povray.text.scenefiles

All the Best,
