Import from Mathematica
There are a number of LiveGraphics3D models available.
As a general rule, if you can find a MathWorld page with an
applet model on it, you can grab the underlying model file,
and import it directly into Springie.
There is a big list of polyhedra available from Mathworld here.
To import these models, visit one of the pages with a
LiveGraphics3D applet on it - e.g.:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GreatRhombicosidodecahedron.html
Then, you need to view the HTML source - probably using a browser menu option.
Search through the source for the text: "input_archive".
That will be followed by the path to a zip file.
In the case of this example, the model of the Great
Rhombicosidodecahedron is actually stored at:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/zip/u28.zip
Downloading that file, unzipping it, and loading the
resulting ".m" file into Springie results in the
model being successfully loaded.
After recolouring the faces, and exporting as POV-Ray, the following image was produced:
Another example would be the Rhombic Triacontahedron:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RhombicTriacontahedron.html
The corresponding zip file is at:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/zip/archdu04.zip
POV-ray renders the result as:
