Hyperbolic Polygon Tesselations
I decided to try playing with different angles for making hyperbolas (as in the previous post) and decided to make the angles form regular polygons. The red objects are hexagons, the yellow triangles, and the blue are squares. There are 3 regular and 8 semi-regular tilings of the plane made out of these regular polygons. This is one of them.
