Internet resources
- Program KALEIDO by Zvi Har'El, which generates vertexes, edges and faces of uniform polyhedra. Dowloading this program have triggered my polyhedra obsession and helped to start this web site. That program was the one of the very few pieces of information on polyhedra available online in 1996, when this site was started.
- Introduction in theory of uniform polyhedra construction with Mathematica code by Roman Maeder.
- POV-Ray raytracing program. It was used to render most of raytraced images here.
- Encyclopedia of Polyhedra by George Hart is a big online polyhedra reference.
- Interactive display of Uniform polyhedra by Richard Morris
- Beautiful Polyedergarten by Ulrich Mikloweit
- Extensive Jim McNeill's polyhedra pages
