2 minutes roughly @ 800x600

all meshes are a dodecahedron.

the model's history is from either calculation or an existing wrl.
remember my mirc mesh viewer pov exporter? It can take
shapes from a wrl library and export to pov.

Another method is to calc it this way(I think these are left faces):

alias initDodecahedron {
  npts = 20
  nfaces = 12
  A = 1.618034
  ;/* (sqrt(5) + 1) / 2 */
  B = 0.618034
  ;/* (sqrt(5) - 1) / 2 */
  C = 1.0
  vertexes = (-(A)) 0 B : (-(A)) 0 (-(B)) : A 0 (-(B)) : A 0 B : $&
    B (-(A)) 0 : (-(B)) (-(A)) 0 : (-(B)) A 0 : B A 0 : $&
    0 B (-(A)) : 0 (-(B)) (-(A)) : 0 (-(B))  A : 0 B A : $&
    (-(C)) (-(C)) C : (-(C)) (-(C)) (-(C)) : C (-(C)) (-(C)) : C (-(C)) C : $&
    (-(C)) C C : (-(C)) C (-(C)) : C C (-(C)) : C C C
  polygons = 1 13 11 12 17 : 2 18 9 10 14 : 3 15 10 9 19 : 4 20 12 11 16 : $&
    5 15 3 4 16 : 6 13 1 2 14 : 7 18 2 1 17 : $&
    8 20 4 3 19 : 9 18 7 8 19 : 10 15 5 6 14 : 11 13 6 5 16 : 12 20 8 7 17
}
