# Hexsphere Generator
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Eventually, this will be a full-blown planet generator. But, for now, this is a
|
||||||
|
hexsphere generator. This shape is also known as a [Goldberg
|
||||||
|
polyhedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldberg_polyhedron) or a [truncated
|
||||||
|
icosahedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_icosahedron). It is made
|
||||||
|
from generating a [icosahedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron) which
|
||||||
|
is split N times for a detail level of N. The [dual
|
||||||
|
polyhedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_polyhedron) of that shape is
|
||||||
|
calculated which results in the hexsphere. In its smallest form (detail level of
|
||||||
|
0), it has 12 pentagon faces. As the detail level increases, it gains more
|
||||||
|
hexagon faces and becomes more spherical in shape.
