Geodesate

Geodesate[expr, n]
replaces each polygon in graphics expression expr by the projection onto the circumscribed sphere of the order n regular tessellation of that polygon.

Geodesate[expr, n, {x, y, z}, radius]
does the projection onto the sphere of radius radius centered at {x, y, z}.

MORE INFORMATION

To use Geodesate, you first need to load the Polyhedron Operations Package using Needs["PolyhedronOperations`"].

Geodesate[PolyhedronData[poly], n] creates a geodesated polyhedron.

n must be an positive integer.
