Nice!  Yep, that first website shows exactly what I'm trying to do, but there's no documentation or tuition on how to attack it from a modeling standpoint, using subdivision modeling techniques.  At least not that I read.  Perhaps I missed it.  I got close a few times just by messing around with edges on a icosahedron primitive, but that's about it.  I need this to be modeled as a solid, or i would simply use a 2D tessellation, and subpolygon displacement to give a quick result.
