hexsphere generator. This shape is also known as a [Goldberg hexsphere generator. This shape is also known as a [Goldberg
polyhedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldberg_polyhedron) or a [truncated polyhedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldberg_polyhedron) or a [truncated
icosahedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_icosahedron). It is made icosahedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_icosahedron). It is made
from generating a [icosahedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron) which from generating a [icosahedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron) whose

calculated which results in the hexsphere. In its smallest form (detail level of results in the hexsphere. In its smallest form (detail level of 0), it has 12

hexagon faces and becomes more spherical in shape. becomes more spherical in shape.
