How could I get a sphere with pentagon topology?

Hi there! What is an easy way to get pentagon shapes in a sphere form?

Hi,

Not sure what app you are using but there are a lot of soccer ball tuts (all using hexagon elements) out there.

You haven't said which program you're using, but in Max there is a primitive(extended) called a Hedra. This pentagon/hexagon pattern can be easily derived from the Hedra primitive.
