Description
"This was a triumph"The child of Companion Cube and Companion Sphere.
Ok, this is the final version of the trusty companion dodecahedron. I've fixed a few things, and added the heart textures.
Modeled in Blender and rendered in yaf(a)ray.
Also, I sent the other two renders to the emergency intelligence incinerator.
I mean scraps.

Maybe someday I'll 3D print one

Did you know, that to make a sphere from hexagons, you require exactly 12 pentagons spaced as they would be, normal to a dodecahedron at the centre of such a sphere?

I sorta knew that, ha ha. I know the pentagons go with the hexagons, but I never realized they formed a dodecahedron.

What is interesting, though, is that it doesn't matter how big the sphere is - as long as there are 12 pentagons normal to a dodecahedron, you could potentially produce a mathematically significant sphere; hexagons into the thousands of billions.

I'm probably not going to get around to making a portal themed one of those, ha ha.

It'd be easy enough, really... Just make a grey sphere with a rough texture. At that size of detail, nobody'd notice. My plan is dastardly and flawless and dishonest.

I want to paint little numbers on the hearts and use it as a d20. lol JK it's awesome as it is. Hm, I can see Aperture making all the basic solids into companions...

Ha ha, well you wouldn't be the first one!
The complete platonic companion set. I'm tempted to do a more complex shape, but I may blow my own mind.

Brilliant idea.
One of the coolest works I've ever seen.
Heh and now it has twice as many hearts as oryginal Companion Cube.

I'm glad you like it!
Twice the hearts means twice the love

You're very welcome.
Portal + mathematics = ♥

Interesting idea. The dodecahedron is my favorite polyhedron, and it's a good render. It also kind of looks like it's directly out of Aperture. Good work.

Man, I so want one. My boyfriend would love it. xD I'm trying to find some kind of Companion Cube item to give him. Q.Q Like a paperweight or something. That looks AMAZING though. Wonderful job. x:

Thanks!
I don't know how to actually manufacture one of these short of papercraft though, heh.

Weighted Companion Dodecahedron just doesn't roll off the tongue as well as Weighted Companion Cube, though.
