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.

What 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.

Today I've found out about the latest tanteidan issue. It has steps for the mosquito on the cover, I would love to fold it. A digital release is not available and single issues can't be purchased; to get the magazine I would need to buy a yearly subscription. Moreover shipments from Japan can take up to three months in my experience. If anyone has a copy I would gladly pay for a scan with Paypal, thank you.

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 software
Didn't find a free template online either btw

ask for a jpg or something. that way you will receive the result and know if it works or not.

apparently the file is too big or it gets stuck in a security check loop, according to GPT and it can't be delivered in chat

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.

Seeing this thread has made me remember a model of an origami bat that turns into a human-shaped vampire, which i loved (the one i had made lost its shape and didnt look like bat or man anymore). I lost the name of the model and google didint help. I looked it up today and found it (probably because of the season).
Have the instructions and have fun (hey its stilll halloween) also sorry for the blog post lol
