Crease Pattern Challenge

yes well put oruhito its good. I look the pattarn and chose, but you can fold make image, show your models for I am not compete folding.

Nicely Put origamimasterjared! It sounds crazy but if you look at it, the Cp is just a 'tesselation' of that triangle pattern and is pretty easy. The hard part is making it accurate and clean.

I think that crumple folding spontaneously creates those forms of tessellations spontaneously. I think that when you're trying to make something that complex for the sake of a sea urchin or what not, crumpling would produce the result faster.

I'm not equating that cp to a crumpled ball btw!

I've seen a crumple folder (I think it was Annie of anniefolds) make a complex sea urchin rapidly. They form the same structure in much less time than it would take to formally fold the blintzes of blintzes of blintzes.

I think that a cp like that falls into the domain where exact folding methods is not the optimal strategy to collapse it.

As someone with a bit of experience folding large works with many triangles(which hopefully grants me some ability to comment on this design), I'd have to second the crumpling argument.

I have found that it is good to start with an initial grid - so the placement of the crumpled cells is accurate; but then the fine details of the rest are less important. this makes things go much faster, as well as not losing much in the way of final results, other than a more organic looking model.

Certainly when I look at your crease pattern, I see tessellations, but that's the myopic view which I see the world through!

One of the differences here however is the fact that this model still collapses together along a single one-dimensional axial line- rather than a two or three dimensional set of lines as with tessellations. This has no bearing on anything, though, it's just an observation.

I'd like to see this model with some flat rivers put between the spiky bits- that would make an amazing surface construct.

Well, it is a tessellation!

Like this?




There are rivers along one direction. Also, this time it is a perfect square. I based it on 1x3 rectangles with the 15 degree packing.
