@RomanNumural9 The more the merrier for sure. Besides, Omega is cheaper. I just wonder if you'll get lost with so many balls at once. I started with a single 216 pack...
Dude, awesome geometric shape, In-Genius. Viewing would be better with a higher frame rate video but you deserve more views for this, this is just as good as Szaki's designs.
I tried creating this then realized I only have 1027 balls lol, so I did the next best thing and created the same thing only smaller. I made the basic shape using 14 balls, so the main shape shape only used 56 balls rather then the 88 you used. so the whole thing only used 732 balls. ^_^
Yes! You pointed out a good way if one's got less balls.
By the way, with the same rhombus basic module you can create lot of solids. For example, its dual solid, Rhombic dodecahedron (look at wikipedia, for some reason I can't post the link here in the comment), using combination of three and four rhombus modules. I? would like to post the creation as answer for this video, but if someone wants to do it by itself, be my guest
@psionic0 I took both ideas here, and first made the Rhombic dodecahedron dual solid version, looks pretty cool and the 3 and four sided rhombus modules work very well. Now I have built an icosidodecahedron (20 triangle 12 pentagon solid) using the smaller rhombus unit suggested above (tricky to finish but I got there). It looks quite amazing, almost organic, kind of like a spherical cactus. I'm really impressed with your rhombus module idea, what other solids have/can you make with it?
It would be great if you make your own video to link with this one!
About the other solids... I can't remember right now, but it's funny to explore the module variations: you can change the amount of rhombuses, or their, let's say, "sizes ratio", make them become hexagons rather than rhombuses.
With a 5-rhombus module you can create an icosahedron frame, but apparently it doesn't fit at the end. I'm still figuring out how to make it work
@psionic0 I found finishing my icosidodecahedron version of your idea very difficult also, but perseverance paid off, you could well find a way.
I have just uploaded a quick phonecam video of my shape on my channel page just to show you, quality not good enough to post here, (the low quality camera is all I got right now but you can get an idea)
I'm a fan of you both. I just got 5 sets of Neocubes for Christmas and enjoy making larger things. So, if you guys want to post more videos, I would certainly enjoy them. Of course, I don't squish mine right away, I leave them out for a few days, so I get a few "Oohhs and Aahhs" when people see them.
Big fan of you both, please keep the videos coming.....please.
I've got many creations to post, but some of them are pretty complicated and I need to find an easy way to put them on video without resulting boring to see.
gr8 work and music ;)

5:49 if u ask me its an upgrade... Jk
Im gonna buy some in the near future and i was wondering if neocubes 6x6x6 alpha cube would work or would omega be smarter? More the merrier?

the crazy thing is that 1116 balls all still fit easily in your hand

@drumstyx6464 It's not so crazy... I've got 2000+ now and still fit (but not so easily) :-)

I just finished making this! It took almost every ball I had but I did it! Great job man! Really ingenious.

Thanks man! I've just got a new webcam in fact :-)
Stay tuned, more shapes to come, with even more quality :-D

Yes, I found the module really versatile too.

Anyway, more to come for sure on my side! :-)

Very nice job man! :)
I see you've taken the idea to crush your creation at the end ;)
szakiii 2 years ago
Well... actually it's the usual end of my creations... I enjoy the realization more than the result...
I mean, the result often is very nice, but the creation phase is what appeals me more
