摘要:The edges of an octahedron inscribed in a sphere will project as arcs dividing the sphere into quadrants. Flattening one or more of these arcs onto the corresponding edges of the octahedron causes the affected quadrants to lose their double curvature and reduces their surfaces to conical, cylindrical and planar surfaces. The sculptor dubs the figures thus created as octoids and cites approximately 143 possible variations that his sculptures might take. He also offers methods for the efficient manufacture of these sculptures
