The Origami Forum

Hi, i'm looking for informations about this pegasus



I found this pic in a collection downloaded from somewhere I don't remember. It was in a folder labeled "Satoshi_Kamiya", but I checked Kamiya's site and there is not such a pegasus. The pic's name is "jm_pegasus.jpg", I think "jm" stands for John Montroll in fact the model is basically a Montroll's horse (from Origami Sculptures) with wings. I checked all Montroll's pegasi but they are way different.
Any ideas about the author or about adding those wings to the montroll's horse?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, I'm italian.

Thank you very much Jared!
So Kamiya is the creator... I wonder if there is a crease pattern available in that site, I don't understand japanese

I didn't see a crease pattern, but the diagrams are in his book.

BTW, you can run a Web page through the Google translator

And you can set it to translate Japanese to Italian... This page is in English, b/c English is my primary language (I also speak passable Texan

No they ain't. That's a different Pegasus entirely. The one H-berg is talking about is literally a John Montroll Horse (the famous one from the Dog base in Origami Sculptures) with wings.

Try folding the horse and unfolding it. Analyze the CP. See where those wings would come from. If a graft is needed, use a graft, etc. This should put you on the right track.

Good luck!

Hi Hank from Texas!
The pegasus I'm looking for (the picture above) is not the one in "Works of Satoshi Kamiya" but a variation on J.Montroll's horse with addition of wings.
I tried to translate this page
http://www.folders.jp/b/box/cp.html
with google translator but, if I understand correctly, it doesn't give infos about the crease patterns

edit: Jared already answered to your post while i was writing

I tried already but unfortunately i'm not expert at crease patterns. I compared the CP of the horse with the CPs in this page
http://www.folders.jp/b/box/cp.html
looking for similarities. The first CP looks pretty similar, but it seems more simple rather than more complex, as I expected (looks like back legs are missing ). Probably it's a completely different model...

hmmm... i'm no cp expert, but another way to approach this model is trying lang's cerberus, in jay ansill's old book, as, if i recall correctly, that is basically the montroll base with two extra flaps grafted on to form the extra heads (what this kamiya pegasus essentially is).
