# The shocking truth.
Also it doesn't work because the pyramids are four-sided, but never mind, eh.

# Change the angle of the cube and it would though ;)

# It could be an octahedron, if it was a square pyramid with another one mirrored underneath
but that's somehow much less arousing geometry that the fact you can get a cube out of four three-sided pyramids.

# ah right, so there would have to be a central cube, with six tetrahedrons attached.

# No, because the base of a tetrahedron has 3 sides.
It could be a central cube with 6 pyramids attached, if the angles were the same then you'd end up with a shape with 6 rhombus-shaped sides, which is kind of cool. I think it's called a rhomboid.

# That's a rhombic dodecahedron, and it has 12 sides

# *closes eyes and imagines* Ahhh, yes, you are correct.
It's still cool though.

As is your animation :)
