Uniform Polyhedra: Displayed as solid and wire-frame models

Johnson Solids: More solid and wire-frame models, plus some isomers to the Johnson Solids.

Locally Convex Prismatic Polyhedra: Commentary and models of snub anti-prisms, bi-snub anti-prisms, spheno-prisms and their relations.

Chiral Prismatic Polyhedra:   Commentary and models of tetrakis snub prisms and pentakis snub pentaprisms.

Cupolas and Cupoloids: More commentary, more models of polyhedra based on the cupola with special attention paid to the great rhombicosidodecahedron.

Spheno-coronal Polyhedra: Families of polyhedra based on the spheno-corona, spheno-mega-corona and hebe-spheno-mega-corona.

Toroids: Szilassi and Császár polyhedra, some of the simpler Stewart Toroids and a focus on the "K4-World" and "T5-Country"

EEBs:  Edge Expanded Biprisms.  A generalisation of the 'spheno-prisms' discussed previously.  NEW

This site is designed primarily to provide some form of ordered access to the many VRML models of polyhedra I have made over the past few months, mainly using my home-built routine "hedron" NEW. I must stress that I am not a professional mathematician, and as a consequence this is more of a catalogue of models than a site providing any mathematical insight.  I have tried to be original in my modelling and I present here a large number of models that I have not seen elsewhere.  Any VRML2 viewer should display the models, in one particular area though I have found a small problem.  The only viewer I can find which will correctly display and rotate a viewpoint set at the origin is CosmoPlayer 2.0 (not 2.1).  Download it from here.  Be warned though, this is an out of date, unsupported browser.

At times, I have modelled a polyhedron for which, to my knowledge, no formal name exists.  In these cases I have tried to extend existing naming conventions.  Where this is the case I have tried to make it clear.  Any errors and omissions are mine.
