    These models have been produced while testing the latest version of the Packinon off2pov program.

The woven polyhedra were inspired by Tim Tyler's Triaxial Weaving pages. A base polyhedron is woven by replacing its edges. A point above the mid-point of each edge is joined to a point below the mid point of the following edge. If the polyhedron is oriented then this produces a weave.
