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
you have sufficient paper, but you can't leave the room or google anything
>>629472My own design. I'll a crease pattern one day and share it here
>>629777Not necessary, but thanks anyway.
>>629777cute, would make.
>>629713welcome back.
Anyone happen to have a copy of this promo papercraft for Super Paper Mario? I believe it came with the August 2007 issue of Famitsu-been trying to find it for awhile now!
>>629150Instead of that how about you gouge your own eyes out for even asking such a racist satanic question. Just kidding lol. No i dont have a copy.
>>629150If you can wait about a month, i should have the originals shipped from japan. Also, they are a pack-in item for a Famitsu mag from 07.
>>629764SpecificallyA Famitsu DS+Wii mag from June 07
bumping!
Does anyone happen to have this book to share?
>>629707>>629720So it doesn't work.
>>629720haha.yes he "can not do better".u guys crack me up
>>629707Could you share where did you find these? That OTM 216 is the same crappy quality one on Zhezhixueyuan, so I know it must have come from the same source. Now that site is down (again), and the E forum has been locked, I would like to know another source for these.
unrelated.but does any1 know if theres a 16th korea convention 2026 book?i think the conv is over but the only book out of it is hexapoda origami
>>629763It's only available in Korea right now.
I've looked everywhere and can't find anything the artist is called Ingrid Siliakus she does some cool stuff but wondering if she had any templates or does she keep this stuff secret?
Saving this for future /po/ reference

Poo screaming
>>547093goddamn this thread is old, trump wasn't even president!
>>629688Nice dubs from /s4s/.
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?
>>629659many blessings anon
Agree. Anyone got Puyan 2026 extra collection
There was a post from 2014 with the zip containing Tanteidan magazines. They have till 134. Can someone similarly share for the rest as a zip file? Also there was a link of a lot of origami books http://www.mediafire.com/download/v9ibmj8d3a91m67/Full_pdf.zip however that link doesn’t work anymore. I lost almost all the collection in my external drive and started collecting one by one and is taking a long time to download every single file. I could get some of the books from the links shared here and some downloading manually from pdfcoffee website. Appreciate all your help.
Minor up cause this was asked ~2 months ago, but does anybody have the Tanteidan 30th convention book ? If not for the full book, I'm especially interested in Roman Diaz's "Magpie 2.0".
>>629769only the zhezhixueyuan version.& that 1 doesnt meet the high standards of this board.but if u want it just say so & i ll repost it
What is your favourite thing to make?
>>629264that looks fire as hell
I wonder if this is the slowest board. Nearly 20 years and I don't think I've ever been here. coolI've always liked making practical things like small boxes for holding stuff on my desk, or self-enveloping notes for gifts and stuff And it's not really origami I guess but there's a fold you can do to seal food packets, that's a useful oneTake care /po/sters
idk I've never made anything but I ordered some paper and I'm gonna mess around with it when I'm on holiday soon
I can only make paper cranes
>>629762is this your work?
No Stencil thread? What has happened to /po/ ?
one more snake
this one is a little complicated but try your best
>>629695Easiest way to attack this is:Black layer firstWhite layer secondOne last black layer thirdBut optimized and harder would be:White layer firstThen black layer secondThose little air holes in the lighter are a bitch but they're a necessary detail of theclassic zippo
>>625871thanksi will first try using pepehttps://www.pasteboard.co/h_yZ15sGQqXP.jpg
Is it like a computer program or something
>>626583I just followed this tutorial to make my first diagram in inkscape https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TMICjVvALcSoon I'll be shilling my own models everywhere!>>626585I know there are ways to mathematically create models but can't you just iterate faster with paper in hand?Then you just trace over photos.I don't think anyone is using physics simulators to create their diagrams. In addition, diagrams often have over-exaggerated proportions on some steps to make them easier to read/understood by the reader (instead of being realistic).
>>626583>How are origami recipes made>Is it like a computer program or somethingFor those who are really serious, there are in fact strings of words or symbols that abbreviate the folds.For example, the crane you posted begins with what we call the "bird base" (step 8). We use this base for many other origami projects, so we all learn how to make it.From there, your crane uses kite folds, petal folds, and reverse folds. A formula of sorts can be written to describe the entire process.
>>626587OH, so that's what a squash fold is, I was confused by wiki how's written instruction and had to watch the gif carefully. I used to fold paper cranes but I forgot how. I just want to do something with my foil tea wrappings other than throw them straight out single-use...I would like recipes for boxes and stars/flowers to decorate them with please, snowflakes?
I pick a base and mess around, then pick an animal that looks like whatever I end up with
>>626583Who was that one Anon who made the almost life-like origami of his waifu, or I'd assume?I'm kind of curious about that one specific Anon's progress.
So I am tea dyeing and then baking paper to get a nice distressed look. I want to bind it with some this twine to keep a rustic look, but I am worried I will just keep ripping it.Pic related is my test leaf I made from my over cooked pieces. End of the day this is a prop for a table top RPG, so it will need to be strong enough to stand up to handling. Anyways anyone here ever worked with distressed paper or hand bound books? Any help would be great.
>>628102Here's a post >>627082 I made in the other thread about bookbinding that shows what I do for the books I bind. The video it's based off is for a "medieval style" binding so that might go well with the theme you're going for. I've also considered doing the same thing but with a fully leather cover. I just haven't got around to trying it yet. I do like the look of those pages you've done.There's also a good bit of posts in that thread that might be helpful for you to look at for ideas for the binding.
>>628391Thanks I used the less even ones for the test. Some are very even and really look like parchment. I used my beater baking sheet, I have a lot for art projects. Any little burnt on contamination will cause the black spots as the evaporating tea lifts it off.
>>628101How do I fold paper to look like a book?
>>629637very carefully
>>628101There is something called coptic stitch i Ihave seen. That looks like what u are doing. Lately i have been watching bookbondage vids for background noise
Hello!I currently have a group dedicated to finding and posting Origami books on Discord. do you want join?Invitation link: https://discord.gg/JC65pEeNIf you have any doubts, below is a book "as a gift for you" (but the maximum allowed file is only 8 mb)
I already got em bro
>>628094Fair enough
If you can help find NOA Magazine no. 50 with the fish on the cover, that would would be great.
Is the discord link available for origami library mentioned here?
>>629701Sadly some retard decided to report, and the server got nuked.
This is papercraft, light locations captured from paper reflection.
>>628257This crap has nothing to do with origami or papercraft.
>>629619Google must be crappie too then to your standards.
>>629717No, not Google, but the idiot who wrote the article for Google is.
I was looking for for my copy of ChronoTrigger in the basement when I came across this box from when I was 15/17. These are some of the letters and notes girls used to send me. Most of them are folded normally. However some of them range from unusual to insane. The origami folded ones I literally haven't opened in 15+ years because I don't wanna fuck up the folds trying to get them back the same way. Is this a thing or was I just living in a different timeline?
I would love to see more examples if anyone has them.
>>629454[spoiler] That's really cute [/spoiler]
>>629454we used to fold paper in this style back in school but not for love messages but to play some kind of randomiser game with different stuff written behind each flap
Damn, this takes me way back. I autisticly saved ever note I ever got. I may pull out the box and snap some pictures. It was no secret that every girl knew how to fold like this. God knows where they all learned it. Seems like there was one that was most commonly used where I was from and it was similar to this >>629456. Occasionally they'd include a little pull tab for easy opening. Clever girls.
>>629456I got this one ALL the time from multiple girls in middle to high school.
It's name is single dahlia and is designed by yuki sato aka ori_sato
>>628923yuphttps://www.4shared.com/office/w28YlTIKku/Single_Dahlia.html
Can some1 share the diagram for Jeon Jaeil's Rooster from his latest book please?
