Tutorial - How to make dodecahedron pot

That's what I did.

  1. Step 1:

    phi=2*atan((1+sqrt(5))/2)

    rad=a*(1+sin(18))

    a=100

    Draw pentagon, where a is a radius of circumscribed circle.

    Create auxiliary datum plane passing trough the rib at an angle equal to the parameter phi.

    Draw second pentagon.

  2. Step 2:

    Make surfaces of them.

  3. Step 3:

    Do array

  4. Step 4:

    Do copy five surfaces with translation by the amount equal to parameter (2*rad) along Y-axis. The axis Y - perpendicular to the plane of the first pentagon. And rotation axis Z and X on180° and 36°, respectively.

  5. Step 5:

    Combine surfaces and do displacement inside.

  6. Step 6:

    Closing volume with surfaces. Make solid detail.

  7. Step 7:

    Round, round and round.
