Here’s some inspiration on YouTube for anyone wanting to animate geodesic spheres: Parametric Animation in 3dsMax #morpher [ Tutorial ]
Colleague Dave Van Dyke has contributed several geometric animations that appear here on GeometryCode.com and also on my BruceRawles.ccom blog; all of which were made using 3D Studio Max.
Here’s another gorgeous animation by David Van Dyke of Z-Axis Graphics. With Dave’s tutelage, 3DStudio Max generated this lovely video of glass polyhedra with beveled edges rotating in unison as if suspended by light beams from above. Again, Dave fine-tuned the optical caustics parameters in the geometric models to achieve the stunning photorealistic quality and recycled the synthesizer tone from the prior video.. You can enjoy more of Dave’ geometric models here and also his diverse artistic and musical creativity on my blog.
David Van Dyke of Z-Axis Graphics generated this exquisite video of a glass cube with beveled edges rotating on a diagonal axis (√3 times an edge length) using 3D Studio Max. Dave fine-tuned the optical caustics parameters in the geometric model to achieve the stunning photorealistic quality and added a synthesizer tone.

I just updated this sacred geometry calendar which has images from the fascinating geometric Martineau Solar System models. Here are details about the 12 images which are highly accurate geometric models of pairs of planetary orbits in our solar system. They were inspired by the remarkable work of John Martineau (publisher of Wooden Books), who wrote “A Little Book of Coincidence in the Solar System.” Tiled images of planetary surfaces and related images form the backgrounds. Images are two or more orbits defined by simple 2D (circles, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, octagons) or 3D geometries (e.g. tetrahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron) typically with 99.9% or greater accuracy. The work picks up where Johannes Kepler’s mystical exploration left off.
