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
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
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
>>628572Probably South Detroit.
sometimes wallpaper paste is just methyl cellulose. You can also make wheat paste yourself pretty easily and use it the same way as MC.

lmao you poor cunts can't even fold paper?
>>628661my diaphragm...

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

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.

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.
>>626058>07/20/24>>625907at least the instructional images are still up

First post of ‘26
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

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.
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
Newfag gere so idk if thus will help at all but if u happen to have a 3d file (.obj) you can upload to plushify net and it'll reverse engineer a sewing pattern for you. You can tell it where to place seams and it'll readjust the cutting lines for you.
>>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
I made this little puzzle box called a soma cube for my girlfriend for Christmas. I was going to make a little wooden box to put it in, wood burn something on it, and then wrap the box up for Christmas with a few other things I have since returned since, well, she broke up with me. I haven't made the wooden box yet, and I'm kind of lost on whether I should finish it up for the sake of completion or if I should just make a paper box and wrap it up just to sit on a shelf, maybe for someone else or the next girlfriend, or just to sit as a trinket.
>>627123that one is really cool with all the same color mine was a pain in the ass getting it to not look like a mess of random colors and i think ill give it to the one girl ive been talking to. She's also pretty crafty so i feel like she will appreciate it. Also, it perfectly fits inside a cube ~3x the size so I think im going to make a Christmas colored big cube instead of the white one i threw it in so it was locked up i think white red and green would be good
well i think this is good :)
Someone got a template for a simple box?
merry Christmas!
>>627121can i have it they're so cute
By chance, does anyone have this book to share?
>>628765bump
For each date that I go on, I would like to give my date something that I have folded myself. My first date is the 7th and I will be gifting a crane then.Do you guys have any more suggestions? Traditional is preferred, but contemporary or from something (like an anime or video game since she really likes those) is also welcome. My origami skills need honing, though, since I took a several year long break, so simpler origami is preferred for the time being.Thank you for your help.
>>628748Thank you for the information. I am gifted with some great used book markets in town. I could probably find said book in one of them (at a good price too). I will probably be doing some book shopping this weekend among other things.
I took a bit of a break from origami to do some modeling (plus take care of an ant problem). /toy/ is the board that I am most active on, but this is my first mech that I have built.I picked this up specifically because her favorite anime character pilots this mech. Once I am done with detailing it, I will return to origami.Pics coming soon.
>>628768
>>628770Neat model, but my experience with papercraft is nil.
