Some snub icosidodecahedra; members of the uniform nonconvex polyhedra.

I've been converting more files from George Hart's library of polyhedra at
http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/vp.html, and been having fun
rendering them for last month or so.

The rest of my renders on this set may be viewed here:
http://www.infradead.org/~wmp/polyhedra/uniform_nonconvex.html

(Actually I'm a little confused; wikipedia's list of nonconvex polyhedra name
52, two of which are missing from GH's pages, which nevertheless features 56.
I've rendered the 56 :-)

Shows how dense I am. I thought this above sentence was going somewhere 
like...

"Some snub icosidodecahedra, but I don't."

Awesome!
I also love the names of these creatures :).
I think the Great Dodecicosahedron is my favourite.


Cheers,

I'm quite partial to the great truncated icosidodecahedron, and the inverted
snub dodecadodecahedron :)
