The Icosahedron plug-in creates a Platonic solid composed of twenty faces that span twelve vertices, each face of which is an equilateral triangle.

An icosahedron can be considered a rough approximation for a sphere.

Icosahedron Properties

• Use LOD: Enables/disables dynamic level of detail.

• Smooth: Enables smoothing of edges.

• Depth: Sets the number of planes at the icosahedron. The more planes you set the more it looks like a sphere.

• Tesselation: Allows you to choose level of detail setting between Low, Middle and High.

To Create an Icosahedron

1. Create a new group and add the Icosahedron plug-in to it.

2. Add a material and/or a texture to the group.

3. Open the Icosahedron editor and disable the Smooth option, set Depth to 3 and Tesselation to Middle.
