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.

I make small Origami to the point that when I gift people Origami they toss it in the Trash because it's too small to be recognised.
Either that or I'm just too bad at Origami lol

use more elegant models
the smaller it is, the more immediately recognizable it has to be
no I don't know any such models but I wish I did because I also like small origami

I make origami peacocks made from dollar bills and it's always well-received and after a while they can simply unravel it to spend the money. I lay the bills flat and spray them with Lysol and let them dry, which results in a clean and crispy bill.

If you're making really small origami you probably benefit from using something of better precision than your fingernails to crease the edges. I knew a girl who made very, very small cranes to use in jewelry and she used tweezers for the entire process, both to avoid getting any oil/fingerprints on the very thin and shiny paper, and to get very sharp creases.

If i (https://boards.4channel.org/po/thread/603852) may give you sort of pro-tip do a triage on what parts (hair, eyes, clothing and accesories) and mercilessly cut it off first before you do any sort of decimation be it manual or automatic. Not only they might make assembly overly hard so you might ultimately give up but they regularly look better scratch. Also do while you might be decimation and testing that model&texture in blender do bear in mind Pepa does its own polygon merging on load of complex model. One way or another thousands of faces gonna perish.
>>
You'll want to look up some retopo and texture baking tutorials for blender. Most of the facial details will need to be flattened into a texture for instance.

Girls like it a lot. I've given flowers and animals to lots of girls that I've ended up seeing for a while. One of my exes really liked cranes, so I taught her how to make them and we used to write notes and messages and doodles for each other then fold them into cranes and leave them in places for the other to find around the house.

Girl here. Please teach us how to make Origami art. It's a fun desk toy.

Don't think it's because of the origami but i got and possibly still am pretty close. I guess it helps cause you're not just the next guy asking for her number, depending on how you approach it tho

Please post images that print well for use as origami paper! I routinely "chop up" a page to easily get 12 to 20+ squares out of a single print.
Multi-pattern images are really cool... allowing for several squares each with individual patterns.
Any good pattern that'll work for several squares with the same/similar patterns.
Black & White can be really cool when printed onto color papers.

You get 16 unique squares outta this multi-pattern print!

Yesterday I made this Miku figure, and since her arms could move I decided to pose her like my favourite dictator. I wanted to make a cute hat for her but I can't find a free template of the right kind.
The one I made for now sucks and I believe she deserves better.
If any of you can help me that would be nice.

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
