I got a bit of an unorthodox problem... Allthough 3dsMax can generate a geodetic sphere without fuss, there doesn't seem to be the possibility to create its dual. what I mean is this: the standard geodetic sphere is divided into triangles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:G%C3%A9ode_V_3_1.gif while its dual would be divided into hexagons and pentagons, similiar to a soccer ball (just that I need a bit more faces than a standard soccer ball): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:G%C3%A9ode_V_3_1_duale.gif I have not found any function nor plugin that would let me create the dual of a geodetic sphere. Nor did I find any allready existing models to download. Does anybody have an Idea how to get one/create one?

it is for maya but you sould be able to follow the steps in 3dsmax without a problem.

good luck.
