Cube, dodecahedron, octahedron, icosahedron…
Those names may sound familiar in the ears of a tabletop RPG player. Those are the names of several types of shapes consisting of a certain number of polygons ordered in an equal fashion. Here are several examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice#Standard_variations .
My question is: how can I model those accurately? I suppose script-fu might be necessary, but before resorting to that (I have no idea how to script), is there an easier way to model those shapes?
