This app allows you to create interesting shapes using affine transformation. Affine transformation can do translation, rotation and scaling on object's coordinate. We do iterations, and in each iteration we apply the affine transformation on the object (circle, rectangle, star, polygon or line), coloured in gradient. At the end, you may like the result. Have fun.

Create and manipulate beautiful polyhedrons without any mathematical knowledge needed. With many patterns, transformations, and color schemes to combine, you can create thousands of stunning visual combinations you may save as still or animated images. Best, see your creations alive around you thanks to Augmented Reality. Polyhedra is an application to represent and manipulate polyhedrons using Conway’s notation. You can apply Conway’s transformations to a seed polyhedron chosen from the Platonic solids (tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron), prisms, and antiprisms. Supported transformations are: ambo, bevel, chamfer, dual, expand, gyro, join, kis, lace, loft, meta, ortho, propellor, quinto, snub, stake, subdivide, triangulate, and truncate. Most important of all, no mathematics knowledge is needed to enjoy.
