Create a rotating 3D metallic pentagonal polyhedron in pure HTML and CSS.

Requirements:
- 5-sided pentagonal CSS clip-path facets: polygon(50% 0%, 100% 38%, 82% 100%, 18% 100%, 0% 38%).
- Rotated around Y-axis in 72-degree increments (360 / 5).
- Amber to crimson translucent gradients with glowing borders.
- Multi-axis tumble animation.
- Zero JavaScript.

Return one HTML file with a <style> block.

How to build it, step by step

  1. 1

    Use clip-path: polygon() to generate 5-sided regular pentagons.

  2. 2

    Arrange faces at 72deg increments around the Y-axis inside preserve-3d container.

  3. 3

    Animate multi-axis continuous tumble keyframes.

Customisation tips

  • Using 72-degree angles matches pentagonal golden ratio geometry.
