Description
Here are a sphere, heart, and cube made from a polyhedron containing 380 hexagonal and 12 pentgonal faces - a polyhedron related to a 780 atom Buckyball. The same edges, (bonds), are used for all three objects. The polyhedron vertices form an approximate sphere which is mapped to a cube

and to a heart. The heart is made by sending the x,y,z coordinates of the sphere to x, y+fxabs(x), fzz where fx and fz are adjustable parameters. The method was suggested by DJ Moews.
