Creating an Octahedron

The Octahedron is the Platonic Solid that has eight faces. We will learn to create an octahedron with a sphere as our starting object.

We start with a sphere.

Let’s begin with a sphere

With the sphere selected, let’s drag the complexity slider all the way to the left

It looks like an octahedron, but it will render as a sphere. We need one more step

Converting the object into a Polygon Mesh will make the octahedron render like a octahedron

The octahedron is ready
