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.)  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

Um...
    I think what you really want is the Dome.inc that used to be at
POVRAY.org. I think it would make solid or wire frame geodomes in POVRAY.

    Buckyballs are molecules.
