Polyhedra
new v1.1.1 (feb. 2023) : The last nodes of the archimedean solids
Two new nodes completing the series of archimedean solids have been implemented. These are the truncatedicosidodecahedron and the rhombicosidodecaheron.
new v1.1 (nov. 2022) : The archimedean solids
11 new nodes corresponding to the archimedean polyhedra have been added. Those allow to draw quickly the archimedean solids (except one which is still under preparation! :) ) in a same way as previous nodes. for the update, just replace the v1.0 file with the v1.1 file
The new nodes are :
truncated tetrahedron | |
---|---|
truncated cube | |
rhombicuboctahedron | |
snub-cube (2 chiral shapes) |
|
truncated octahedron | ![]() |
icosidodecahedron | ![]() |
truncated cuboctahedron | ![]() |
snub-dodecahedron | ![]() |
truncated dodecahedron | ![]() |
truncated icosahedron | ![]() |
all these new nodes have the same structure as the nodes of the first version, thus multiplying the rendering possibilities ; eg.
![]() | ![]() |
v1.0 : Coordination geometry
Polyhedrais a procedural Geometry Node Addon for creating mostcoordination polyhedra. This is not only for professionals orstudents of condensed matter but also for those who appreciate thebeauty of symmetry! This addon allows also to create scifi objects
Features
there are currently13 different geometry nodes (more in the further update)corresponding to the most common coordinations:
Thesedifferent nodes allow to build in a fast and modular way the mostcommon coordination polyhedra. To use them, just drag and drop intothe “geometry node” window
Descriptionof the parameters:
All nodes have the same structure. The example below is anillustration on the octahedron. The node is divided into severalparts, a part concerning the central atom, a part concerning theligands, a part on the polyhedral and finally a part on a "wireframe"mode
• scale :scale value on the final object ###central atom part • Radius :radius of the central atom • Material: material of the central atom • Hide(checkbox) : possibility to hide the atom • Switch withObj : Possibility to have any object instead of a sphere (see. below) ###Ligand • Radius :radius of the ligand atoms • Material: material of the ligands • Hide(checkbox) : possibility to hide the atoms • Switch withObj : Possibility to have any object instead of a sphere (see below) ###Link • Link radius: radius of the bond between the central atom and the ligands • Link material: material of the bonds • Hide Link: possibility to hide the bonds • length offset: change the length of the bonds with coupled atoms • length change: change the length of the bonds with uncoupled atoms • Binary modecolor (checkbox) : for the chemistry representation • Fill Caps(checkbox) : if ligands are hidden, itallows to fill the link ###Polyedra • Material: material of the polyedra • Hide(checkbox) : possibility to hide the polyedra ###Wireframe • wireframe(checkbox) : show or not the polyedra in wireframe mode |
