Hello,
   This is something that may end up being a cgsphere entry sometime in 
the future, if I figure out some texturing and lighting I like.  Any 
comments and feedback is welcome (I'm aware that the dodecahedron is 
protruding from the bottom of its hemisphere.... now.)

   As it is now, its been an interesting refresher lesson for me on 
platonic solids, and the limitations of antialiasing.

   If anyone has any ideas for a faster way to get those gridlines to 
render properly as well, I'm all ears (eyes?).  This render took nearly 
50 hours largely because of the focal blur settings needed to eliminate 
the gridline artifacts.
