The Origami Forum

Hello guys, I have a question... At Jason Ku's site, he always shows "2" CPs, Is that shaping? Mountain folds, valleys? I would like to clear my mind about that.

This is the site By the Way http://scripts.mit.edu/~jasonku/.

One of the CP's is the crease pattern, which you fold, the other one is the packing of the pattern, which shows you the arrangement of the flaps and rivers.

Hmmmm It's almost clear, do you have an exemple to illustrate that?
Thanks for the reply

For this model, the left pattern is the crease pattern, that you fold. The right pattern shows you the flap arrangement. The lower left and right corners give you the legs. The top left and right corners gives you an arm with 5 flaps that are the fingers. What's left are a flap for the head (top center) and some rivers to separate the arms and the legs (i.e the torso)

Well FlareglooM's definition was perfect, but in case you didn't know what rivers were, they are the space between a flap. If I wanted to design a human, I would want to space out the legs and arms so that they didn't look like an X I would want a bit of room in between them. So yea, a definition of rivers

Nice! Thank you all! I am now progressing on my CPs study! Thank you all for replies, really I am yet to find a full step by step or something, I'll keep looking ,trying , folding, failing and suceeding

He also says at this specif CP, "
The reference point on the bottom edge is found by folding point (0,1/2) to point (5/8,0) assuming the square is of length one on the coordinate plane." I tried that out at the ReferenceFinder (Mr. Lang's site) and that returned a few instructions of course... How am I suppose to interpret them? Wich is the reference point that he's talking about?

The (0,1/2) and (5/8,0) are coordinates in a 2-dimensional plane. In this case the plane is a unit square (i.e a square with sides of 1). Assuming the notation is as (x,y) where x is to the right and y is upwards, you will find two points on your square. You need to fold (0,1/2) on the point (5/8,0). This should give a fold which ends somewhere on the bottom edge. (in the notation of before (x,0) where x has a particular value).
I can't make a picture for you, I don't have the stuff available currently.
Hope this helps a bit

Yeah it helped, Thanks a lot
