[lqdnlcoh] Snub polyhedra

Explode radially outward the faces of a polyhedron, then rotate each face by the same angle.  Form the convex hull, adding edges (somehow) to avoid curved surfaces like the hyperbolic paraboloid.

Vaguely similarly previously: Octahedral gears

Inspired by, it is easy to visualize rotating a shape on a single axis, even having it deform due to the twisting, but twisting on multiple axes simultaneously is hard to imagine.
