vZome is a program for building virtual Zome models. It can be used interactively, or you can write powerful scripts in the Zomic language.

You can download and launch vZome using Java Web Start... no need to install anything! This will install a disabled edition of vZome, which lets you use all the features, but does not let you save model files. To obtain a free, fully capable personalized license for vZome, please send a note to me ("scott") at "vorthmann.org", and I'll reply within a day or less, typically.

vZome will not run without Java. If the Java Web Start link above does not work for you, you may need to install (or upgrade to) the Java Runtime Environment 1.4 or newer.

There is a vZome-users mailing list available, so you can learn of new releases of vZome, and you can share experiences and ideas with other vZome users. Email me if you want to join the list, please.

Although there's no real user documentation as of yet, I've started a very minimal User's Guide. I'm always happy to answer questions and offer tips via email, or to schedule phone calls or Skype screen-sharing sessions when time allows.

The current version of vZome is vZome 4.0. Unlicensed (and disabled) older versions vZome 3.0.0 and vZome 2.1 are also still available, but I no longer offer licenses for them.

Here are various pages that I've put together on some interesting vZome models and the related mathematics, in roughly chronological order spanning the last five years or so:

• the vertex-first projection of the 120-cell
• quaternion multiplication and 4D projections
• Gosset's polytopes
• the grand antiprism
• the 5-cell and its family
• affine-regular pentagons and dodecahedra
• affine projections of the 120-cell
• building the omnitruncated 24-cell
• Robert Morri's icosahedral fractal
• the cell-first projection of the 600-cell
