Thanks for all the input - threeJS is great. I’ll take your advice on that. I haven’t updated my knowledge on it for a couple of years. FYI - a reason for using Livecode exists outside of the actual animation. It’s the educational aspect and geometry. Would like to be able to explore the

Thanks Rick - yes an icosahedrons wireframe is quite minimal. No opacity or shading needed at this stage. Livecode animation of the graphic object is certainly fast enough. It’s acceptable smooth enough - though not ideal due to lack of antialiasing (I think). I could look around for some

Hi David, How many wires in your wire animation? How fast and smooth does your rotation need to be? Is there going to be an image or writing on the side that shows up? Hmm, an icosahedron has 20 sides, so it’s like 20 sided dice! I just saw a web version that didn’t bother to rotate the image
