FAQs about origami

Where do I begin with origami and how can I find easy models?

Try browsing the board for guides, or other online resources listed below, for models you like and practice folding them.

A great way to begin at origami is to participate in the Let’s Fold Together threads >>>/po/lft - open up the PDF file and find a model you like, work on it, and discuss or post results.

Had the same happen to me many years ago when I was just a kid and it was from my grandmother instead. Bunch of cunts, too bad you only learn that women are shit after some years into adulthood. Until then, you're their plaything for psychological trauma, literal psychopaths.

i was a father once. my kid wasted tons of paper drawing and coloring doodles, including my signed rx paper (im a doctor). i used to yell at him for wasting those.

after the divorce, he went off with its mother. now he's a videogame artist and 3d modeller.

i regret yelling at him so much. i wish i could waste some more paper with him just once

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

Recently I got inspired by this guy who models their cosplays with cardboard and I got surprised by how good the round shapes ended up look like.
I only want to make a mask with round shapes but every tutorial I found uses straight strokes for the template and I want to know if I can find more information of how to do it the other way

The technical name for a shape that can be made from a flat plane via cutting, folding and bending but without stretching or compressing is a developable surface-

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developable_surface

Cylinders, cubes, pyramids and cones are basic examples, and with computers extremely complex shapes can be segmented and unfolded to create patterns for 3-D objects.

Curved creasing/folding (see pic) is another option that can develop amazing shapes with minimal cutting and assembly work

What are cereal boxes made of? I know they're comprised of grayboard/chipboard but what do they print on? Is that white part part of the chipboard? Why does nobody sell this?
This is the same as VHS box sleeves, NES, SNES, N64 boxes. Yet nobody seems to actually know how they're made.

>What are cereal boxes made of?
Cardboard and ink
>nobody seems to actually know how they're made
