The Origami Forum

Hey I just wanted to know if anyone has folded the CP titled Ciervo by Roman Diaz. If someone has then could they help me with it? I don't see any possible bases.

Thanks!

Diagrams for this model can be found on Gabriel Vong's homepage:

thnks

Also, I cant seem to get this one- http://folders.jp/g/2002/0234.html

Search the forum for that one. I forgot whether it was anermak or me, but one of us drew diagrams for how to solve the CP.

Kelly, you should really try to fold something easier instead of asking how everything is done. Try some diagrams. First simple ones then intermediate and finally complex. Look at the techniques that are used in these diagrams to come from one point to another. Fold some simple figures and bases unfold them and look at the pattern you got. Refold this pattern and add something else unfold again and look what you've got and so on. You will learn a lot more this way then asking a thousand questions.
To begin with a Crease Pattern just print it out refold all the creases, search for reference points and try to collapse it into a base. Only an experienced folder will be able to come from this base to the final model, so practise, practise, practise!

Ive been working on origami for 7 years, I just cant get any of the folds to work. Plus, everytime it is very sloppy.

Kelly, Anna brings up a good point. How experienced are you at folding? I had about 9 years' experience (almost exclusively with high intermediate-complex origami) before starting on crease patterns.

There are no shortcuts, Kelly. Practice, practice, practice. Work on some easier things until they aren't sloppy any more, then move on to something harder.

I finnally managed to get the base for the hercules beetle , but I cant figure out where to go on from there.

Help

Now that the easy part is done, now comes the "hard" part, follow the picture and interpret the folding sequence from it . Really, that part is up to you now, cps only give the base, no one knows the outcome besides the designer or those lucky enough to be taught it by them.
