Particular Particles

I wanted to start with an "Icosahedron truncated" object and then add things extending from the various five and six-sided polygons, but I didn't know how to place an extension piece so it exactly aligned with an angled polygon.

If there is an easier technique, please add a comment. Meanwhile, some of you may not be familiar with polygon selections, Particle Meshes, and the Particle Mesh to Polygons Tool, each of which is useful, so I put them together in a simple GIF.

Good tip

Also, how did you do the final render with lines?

There´s a Wireframe shader under Add Material->Special

Thanks

I just recalled that was available.
