This board is also an great library of relevant PDF books and instructions, one of the best resource of its kind on the internet.Questions and discussions of papercraft and origami are welcome. Threads for topics covered by paper engineering in general are also welcome, such as kirigami, bookbinding, printing technology, sticker making, gift boxes, greeting cards, and more.Requesting is permitted, even encouraged if it’s a good request; fulfilled requests strengthens this board’s role as a repository of books and instructions. However do try to keep requests in relevant threads, if you can./po/ is a slow board! Do not needlessly bump threads.
Hints and tips?For folding, The best advice is to always fold as cleanly as possible, and take your time. Everything else comes with experience.https://origami.me/beginners-guide/https://origamiusa.org/glossaryWhat are ‘CPs’?Crease patterns are a structural representations of origami models, shown as a schematic of lines; they are essentially origami models unfolded and laid flat. Lines on a crease pattern may be indicated by ‘mountain’ or ‘valley’ folds to show how the folds alternate. If you’re particularly skilled at origami, they become useful instructions for building models. A common base fold is usually discernable, all the intermediate details can be worked on from there.https://blog.giladnaor.com/2008/08/folding-from-crease-patterns.htmlhttp://www.origamiaustria.at/articles.php?lang=2#a4
Hey guys, first time poster here. So i tried asking ChatGPT to generate me a template out of curiosity. I wasted 2 weeks cause it couldn't export the PDF and some other technical shit. Don't even know if its possible. Do you guys know a way to generate a template for this vehicle: the VBCI.I don't have the skill (or money) to do it myself and flatten it with some dedicated softwareDidn't find a free template online either btw
>>628472Update u can use Pepakura for the same thing looks like
>>628473Is there a serial key for the new pepakura?
>>627597>Chatgpt Not gonna make it faggot
>>627597bro chatgpt is nowhere near being able to do that lul, it's just a retarded chatbot
>>627597Stop using ChatGPT before you lose all cognitive function and need the bobot to fuck your wife please for the love of god
How do I make this?
i found the original print for it here:https://basedbooru.com/post/view/13672

>>627650this is neatfound an unfinished '93 SUISEI in a basement, this will help me check if there's no parts missing
>>628752holy fucking shit that's retardedthey could have printed the main spar in one piece diagonally instead of 3 parts (H+P+P) and a stupid junction (R)
>>628817there's just one more thingprevious builder cut out just one fuselage segment, and he deleted all the tabsnow I'm wondering whether he did an oopsie, or is it some advanced technique where you don't stack fuselage segments on top of each other but join them flush on a separate piece
Previous thread's life finally ended after 3 years. >>553409Let's start a new one!
>>625018Are you >>624840 ?You can check >>624841 to see some advice on step 8, maybe it can help...
Looking for a crane that flaps its wings when you pull on the tail.
>>628029It is usually called "flapping bird".Fold from this diagram until "BIRD BASE" step, and follow the flow heading down:https://www.happyfolding.com/files/Crane-and-Flapping_Bird_0.pdf
Can someone explain to me what is going on in steps 11 and 12 for the club? i have tried several times but it is not possible to fold the back part down like how it is shown in the diagram
>>628835It's very likely you did something wrong, the sinks on steps 9 and 10 are open.Can you show me a pic of what you've done?
Feel free to post your collections, your works in progress, or your star hordes! You can find lots of inspiration in the old thread (http://boards.4chan.org/po/thread/515222) Remember /PO/ is a slow board so please don't bump the thread. I created the last thread over two years ago. Here's to two more.

>>627438Not OP. That's what I did. :3
>>627439hell yeahsupport the artists and we'll get more

Welcome, this is a SHARING thread, where you request and share single diagrams (preferably). And I would like to encourage sharing this mockingbird.

Thank! Anyone gots Orifancy 8 or masterpieces wit the Godzilla

what the hell is methylcellulosewhy can't my fucking country stock even passable paperall you westerntards can just walk into a specialized art store and buy whatever the fuck you want and it's all nice and packaged upit's just poor people here stocking "stationary shops" and they don't know that there's different types of paperone day I'll get out of this hellhole and actually be able to do origami
sometimes wallpaper paste is just methyl cellulose. You can also make wheat paste yourself pretty easily and use it the same way as MC.
>>628611
lmao you poor cunts can't even fold paper?
>>628661my diaphragm...
>>628661I accidentally wandered in here from /pol and thought, "meh, 4chan is 4chan let's see what fucking "paper and origami" is about, should be basket weaving...">its just /pol
does anyone else remember lucky stars? those origami stars made by gently tying paper? bc I've never heard anyone else acknowledge them and i think I'm going mad
Just spraying a clearcoat can cause fuzziness, transparency staining, warping, and collapse.Paint the entire model with PVA glue/Elmers/Aiileens/white paper glue, slowly a portion at a time drying being sessions.When fully coated and dry, spray with an acrylic clear coat, it bonds with PVA and creates a glossy, slightly moisture repellent, dustable surface.Best advice: take all recommendations ITT and test them on scraps of paper to learn what works.
>>628605fuck me i thought this was /pol/
>>628605Nice, this is the thread I need rn.Should I use glossy paper or normal papper? Just tell me the name of the right one, what are the specs?I'm a noob, but I WANT to make pic real and I NEED it to be shiny.
Just use modge podge on it
>>628751i think glossy paper is a pain in the ass to do paper craft with. i think coating the paper (before cutting) with a shiny-drying glue or modpodge is the way to go. you'd have to experiment which glue does not smudge the ink or warp the paper...i don't have experience with this, though and i would bet that anything you put on it results in at least slight warping of the paper. in woodworking you solve this by treating both sides of it, so the forces that lead to warping even out.good luck! (also FUCK this captcha bullshit)
RE-POST REQUEST. It's been pretty dead lately, not even requests, so I don't know if any one will read this. Can some one please re-post "Origami Pro 7" and "Origami Tanteidan Convention 29". They've been shared everywhere else already, so why not in 4chan?
>>622393This crap doesn't belong here.
>Fukui_Hisao_-_Real_origami_is_amazing_Dinosaurs_and_ancient_creatures_pdf Is anyone able to reupload this? I found it in the archive but both links are dead.

>>628811No problem.
Anyone happen to have Akira Yoshizawa (吉沢 章) first book New Origami Art (新らしい おりがみ藝術) ?I found what looks like it could be a download link from Russian library source Bigenc but I am not in Russia and unable to try it out. If anyone was in Russia and wanted to give it a go, it's this:bigenc.ru/b/xin-rashiiorigamiyun-shu-54592f
>>628790https://www.origamiheaven.com/historyatariorigamigeijuitsu.htm
Not sure if this helps, but I THINK I found a page of it from the National Diet Library: https://ndlsearch.ndl.go.jp/en/books/R100000002-I000002790314
>>628798This is what you found a page of.
I saw this stop motion animation on YT the other day. Any information you guys have about stop motion or anything related to it would be kind of useful. So I thought I'd start a general discussion here. Share my first attempt at trying to make a stop motion animationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZET06TEYEk
Okay, so I've never tried stop motion before, and I've never done anything with animation either, so I thought I would try something simple. When I've done it, I'll probably upload it to YouTube, but I'll keep you guys updated here.I'm just going to try to keep it very simple, just some cut out fish swimming.I'll probably end up doing something a little bit more complicated when I've finished this if it all goes well.
Okay, so here it is. It's kind of crappy, but I'm going to try to do something a bit more complicated tomorrow.https://youtube.com/shorts/g7vv7l6XtN4?si=KDHe9ckKMO1KWDXG
I messed about with some more stop motion this evening. Tomorrow I'm thinking about trying to make a simple walking animation and see how far I can get with that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heOQRELU25A
>>628750it looks cute anon
>>628738>>628750Keep it up, anon. Stop motion is a cool medium.
