These stellations are produced from distorted dodecahedron.
This deformation can be best
seen on original nonstellated
deformed dodecahedron.
In window with VRML browser, which should appears if you
click at reference above you
will see a dodecahedron which you can rotate using mouse pointer.
If you will click on polyhedron it will start periodical
animation of deformation. Clicking again
will stop this animation. Usefull tip: don't touch polyhedron
with mouse pointer if you want to rotate it - press mouse button
down when pointer is over the black space.
You can look at several
selected stellations,
or see list of all 270 of them in
alphabetical order,
or in color order -
in order of increased number of faces of different types.
The central part of current window shows stellation diagram
for selected polyhedra at some fixed distortion.
The whole polyhedron is constructed from 12 rotated copies of such face.
