In Canvas Studio, the Icosahedron (or IcosahedronGeometry) is a 3D polyhedral shape made of 20 equilateral triangular faces. Known for its symmetry and mathematical elegance, the icosahedron is frequently used in stylized modeling, low-poly art, or as a foundation for spherical meshes. This geometry offers minimal but powerful controls, allowing you to define the base size and the level of surface refinement through subdivision.
position – determines the placement of the icosahedron in 3D space along the X, Y, and Z axes; used to situate the object within the scene.
rotation – rotates the icosahedron on each of its local axes; useful for orientation, animation, or achieving desired visual angles.
scale – resizes the geometry independently along any axis; allows for proportional or custom transformations.
castShadow – enables the icosahedron to project shadows onto other objects; enhances realism in lit scenes.
receiveShadow – allows it to catch shadows from other objects; integrates the object visually within its lighting context.
visible – toggles whether the icosahedron is rendered; useful for scene control, animation, or logic-based visibility.
wireframe – renders the icosahedron as edges only; effective for debugging or stylistic low-poly presentation.
opacity – controls how see-through the geometry is; 1 means fully opaque, values below that introduce transparency.
radius – sets the overall size of the icosahedron from center to vertex; determines the visual footprint of the object.
detail – increases subdivision levels; a value of 0 renders the basic icosahedron, while higher values make the surface smoother and more sphere-like.
The IcosahedronGeometry in Canvas Studio offers a clean, geometric form that can be used as-is for stylized results or refined into a near-spherical shape for more organic designs. With simple controls and high symmetry, it’s a versatile tool for both technical and creative modeling.
