Following a suggestion by Bob Faulkner who constructed a cardboard
illustration of Euclid's "roof construction" of a regular dodecahedron I
prepared a computer animation.
Although no special aspects of raytracing are needed, I found PovRay
very suited.
The AVI-file can also be viewed using windows incorporated media player.
Continuous playing gives the best effects.
Other animations (animated gif-files) concerning polyhedra can be found
on my website.

Oh, if only I had one of these babies, back when I played D&D...

Funny, I was thinking "Oh, if only I had seen this back in High School
geometry class".  I got a D- grade even after trying to do extra credit to
not fail.

It's a fabulous puzzle-like animation.  I'm not good with geometry (just
said so) but the subject has always been fascinating stuff.
