A quick doodle of a game i've been playing lately

You can insert an icosahedron inside an octahedron.

If the edge length of the octahedron ist 1 + Phi (1.618), the egde length of the icosahedron is SQRT(2).

A friend showed me this picture by Casey house:

And I had to draw it in isometric projection.

Very neat.

One could also make that even further and put an octahedron into the icosahedron and so on...

Okay I'm back with another silly obscure character for you!

Maybe OCTAHEDRON Protagonist?

hang on i recognize you from here

but who am i to deny you your polygonal drug of choice

for future reference though you need to not consume so many polygons because polygon addiction can have serious consequences

dont do drugs children

Whatever this thing is, the way your eyes are straining when you try to focus on it are saying that the way you're currently perceiving it is protecting your mind from sensing something far, far beyond human understanding. Its dragon-esque body consists of what looks like hundreds of thousands of individual shapes that each have their own color. No two shapes have the same color. Where its head should be is a floating octahedron that is so bright you can't look directly at it. It's like staring into the sun.

Its breath weapon is a flurry of countless individual paper-thin shapes launched at incredible speeds. Each shape individually only leaves behind a paper cut, so you can imagine how deadly all those shapes being launched at you at once is.

Here are some 3D models of my OCs. Each one of them is based on a platonic solid (except for Sphere), and in the lore they all work in the same math research center!

The octahedron from tumblr profile pics.

Please reblog for a larger sample size.

drawn octa from "octahedron" :D

(u should play the game btw)

Sometimes I remember that most of the games I love are extremely obscure and at most have five other people in the fandom.

Anyways, do anyone else knows about 140, THOTH, HoB, OCTAHEDRON: Transfixed Edition, THUMPER, VVVVVV, Billie Bust Up, NERVE (Gunfish Games), TY the Tasmanian Tiger, Owlboy and/or JUMPGRID?

One neat thing about being a shapechanger is that if someday I happen to think "Hm, I wonder what it is like to be an octahedron?", I can just turn myself into an octahedron and find out.

(It turns out that being an octahedron isn't really all that interesting. But I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't tried.)

Monde the silly Made an extended version of my part for the OCTAHEDRON Thank You Card. It was fun!

A visual study of the Icosahedron inside an Octahedron - and the remaining tetrahedral modules

The tetrahedral modules:

Buckminster Fuller came up with these modules and called them "S modules" or "S quanta modules".

Here is a helpful summary:

Don't forget that there's a game called OCTAHEDRON!! With an equally banger soundtrack!! Also the protagonist is octahedron-headed btw. They're a silly little (tm) guy.

Regular Icosahedron:

Platonic Solid

Regular

Dual of the Regular Dodecahedron

It has 20 regular triangular faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertices.
