divide a square into 40ths. I would love to make the violinist from Hoyjo Takashi. This would be a first with crease patterns, I believe I could do it with a little time and patience. Unless anyone knows which book I can get a diagram from (if there is one)??

you can get a diagram in a joas special edition or in kamiya's new book, super complex origami, i think it's called.
as for 40ths divide into 5ths then divide the fifths until you have fortieths

ok! so how do you do fifths?! keep in mind, I have not really turned away from diagrams before, so Cp's are fairly new.

go to here viewtopic.php?t=3161&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 and scroll down. someone posts a diagram on a fast way to divide fifths

and btw, I'd recommend starting with something simpler than Hoyjo's violinist if its your first time using crease patterns. It isn't horribly complex, but its certainly not a beginner's crease pattern

5…25…125…625…3125… Nope, doesn't look like you'll hit 40ths anytime soon.

Divide into 5ths and then divide the 5ths into 8ths. 8 x 5 = 40

Well how long do you guys think it'll take to make? I figure if I do it slow and accurate, I should be able to make it right?? Doesn't look like there are any tricks involved. And thanks for all the help!

lol that's not what i meant jared ha ha ha


i just didn't want to do the math

5 - 10 - 20 - 40

that's the way to go, don't know how you come to 25 after dividing into fifth.

he thought i meant divide the fifths into fifths
or he was being sarcastic

well it´s just arithmetic progressions

like 2^0 2^1 2^2 2^3 2^4 etc
makes half divisions to 1 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/16 1/32 etc

and in thirds 1 1/3 1/9 1/18 1/54
and fourths 1 1/4 1/16 1/64 1/256
and fifths 1 1/5 1/25 1/125 1/625

soo you can mix and match for example if you take 1/5*1/8 makes 1/40

and 1/96 is 1/32*1/3

hope it helps

Hello,
this is my first time on this forum, or any forum, for that matter. I wrote out my own crease pattern for Takashi's violinist, based on the photos I saw of partially folded models on this site, but I am having trouble figuring out which appendages will be used for arms, the violin, bow, etc. Could someone explain this to me? Thanks!
