Chapter 3 - Cardboard, Rubber Band Method

  • Chapter 3 includes instuctions on how to create polyhedra using the Cardboard and Rubber Band Method. Unfortunately there is only one model mentioned in this chapter, and that is the very unexciting P6. The only other figure shown (on the end-page of the chapter), was already covered in Chapter 1, the frequently mentioned Q3P6 / P3Q3

    Disclaimer: These pages are dedicated to B.M. Stewart. They are intended to be used by readers of his book to better illustrate his ideas in three dimensions. His book has tons of information that I do not intend to represent here, and I highly encourage anyone interested in this subject to buy the book. If you like my illustrations, please let me know. And if you are interested in a particular Stewart Toroid being modeled, please let me know and I will do what I can.

    Thanks also to Robert Webb for his very cool "Stella" program. I have used it extensively to generate VRML files for my site. It is a great tool for rapid exploration of augmentations and excavations of polyhedra (among other things).
