IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

This is my polyhedra museum.
The second shelf contains compounds of platonic polyhedra.
The dual of the tetrahedron is a tetrahedron,
the dual of the cube is a octahedron,
the dual of the dodecahedron is a icosahedron.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

The scene has been composed for povray version 3.1 for Windows.

To render this file, you must have the two following files in the INCLUDE
directory: POLYREG.INC (Platonic polyhedra). On these polyhedra, you can
do CSG OPERATIONS. In this file, there is also the coordinates of the
vertex of the Platonic polyhedra. You need also COULEURS.INC. This file
contains the pigments from RENDERAY 2.0 and it is easyer for me to
translate RENDERAY scenes to POVRAY.
