Curved Crease Patterns

Post by ahudson »

I've been doing some explorations with curved-surface creasepatterns recently... tell me what you think! Open circles are valley points (concave), closed circles are mountain points (convex). I've used pencil shading to show the direction and intensity of the curvature.

You can find higher-resolution copies of these on my flickr page; the link is in my signature.

This first photo has a few examples and their crease patterns.

Now here I have a variety of curved-surface origami, and also a few crease patterns. The bottom two CPs are of a tessellation molecule and my squirrel. Across the top are some minimalist swans that I created.

Finally, just some crease patterns for you to solve, as a puzzle!

Very interesting concept, Ahudson! :D

Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.

This reminds me of Dry-Tension folding.
Cool concept. I'm already bad at CP's, so solving these would be extra hard for me, though. :lol:
