Spherical compound of five octahedra with the same colors

These images show the compound of five cubes. The one in the usual orientation is gray, the other four are red, green, blue and yellow.

There are six different views showing a gray square. Those from opposite sides are essentially the same, but mirrored.

Each of these views shows three kinds of white points:

  • 2 within the gray square (middle)
  • 2 "heads" of pentagrams (single)
  • 4 "feet" of pentagrams (double)

(By this logic a black vertex is where two pentagrams hold hands, and in each middle vertex two feet meet one head.)

The three essentially different views differ by how they partition the four colors:

rg | by rb | gy ry | gb
bottom / top middle double single
front / back single middle double
left / right double single middle

These images are raytraced with POV-Ray. The source is here. Only the gray cube is described by coordinates.
The other four are rotations created with RotMatFromVectorAndAngle (rotating around point 6 of the icosahedron).
