Search no more mi friend, i started with this book (Im still finishing/reading it) and i consider it a good start:
https://ia803201.us.archive.org/1/items/genuine-origami-jun-maekawa-2008/Genuine%20Origami%20%20%5BJun%20Maekawa%5D%20%5B2008%5D.pdf
>>
>>611090
this so much.

I didn't have good experience with this book. The theory is nice, teaching techniques and essential ideas in progressively more complex models.
But a lot of the models, in my experience, even simpler ones can be too disappointing/challenging. I mean this book is supposedly written for beginners.
I just checked gilad page, reviewing from memory:
1. squirrel - the example photo and the one in diagram is different, so your result won't look the same as Jun Maekawa's
2. box - "locks" and bullshit don't work. I honestly have no idea how to make this properly without glue
3. spiral shell - good luck making everything aligned
4. giraffe - I really dislike this one, dunno, the fact you fold the back and hide it behind really annoys me
5. helmet - good luck making this stand, even gilad couldn't do it, fuck this model seriously
I think I dropped the book a few models after this. I kept hitting problems that I blame on subpar models.
I decided just to fold stuffs I find interesting from /po/. Not following Maekawa's curriculum. I'm much happier now. I just don't think the book is good recommendation for beginners.
-----
John Montroll's Teach Yourself Origami's first half has all of the essential models they used to teach in schools.

Try to follow this plan to become a successful folder . 1 .Sonobe .2 . Kusudama .3 tessellation .These are good because very repetitive folds practice makes foolproof and you can use glue for assembly
Then 4 .Beetle . 5 .Fish . 6 .Spider .7 scorpion
8 . Butterfly two colours .
9 .Bee two colours
Then try some simple characters .
After that you should be familiar enough with diagrams and precrease to attempt more complex models such as birds dragons .

Just an idea but wouldn't making a silk screen fix this? It takes a bit more effort and money to make but I think the effect would be cool.

Since the janny deleted my other post showing it more straightforwardly, don't forget you can use a paint bucket tool to identify islands.

I got this picture of a few pins badges representing animals, possibly origami models (that's probably the intended effect).
Any of you know if they are origami models and not just polygon-shaped animals?
And if they are origami, any idea of who the creators are?
>>
I don't recognize those, I suspect they're just meant to look like origami without being based on real designs.

That said, the koala looks a bit like Gen Hagiwara's and the fox reminds me of one by Hoang Tien Quyet
>>
>>622075
Thanks for your answer. I'll try to find pictures of those two models you talked about.

yooo its so cool

Hello, this topic is for people to make "public" exchanges, that is, post a file publicly and the other person posts another, so that everyone can download it. For example, I have Origami Double and I want to exchange it for Marine origami. If anyone posts Marine origami publicly I will post Origami Double the same way. Thanks for understanding.

You have to glue together tabs at every connection?

I don't understand the 3D printing part.
Is it to give structure to the paper?

how? what material do you use for these? i cant imagine just paper being strong enough

>>620973
Prints of this size are limited by dimentions of print area. While ppl do print lifesize figurines they have to turn model into large number of parts and fit them together post print. While I can't deny difference in methods might seem silly, building doll by gluing plastic bricks together doesn't do it for me.
>>621383
If you mean cardboard assembly I worked on I paper doll thread I had only partial succes as I have not included any marking on parts which made fitting it together more or less guess work. Pepakura can be forced to work with model set of parts clipping throuhg one another at 90° angles but doesn't provide any way to mark where and how those parts intersect.

This stuff(pic related) is my most used as far anything that requires any larger paper with colors. It arrives perfectly square and it's cheap. There is better paper I've used, but it's usually for special models. I think my favorite so far is shadowfold. It's thin and easy to use.

I use car paint masking paper for more complex models.
it's strong, thin, keeps it's shape and it's dead cheap.

I've always admired people who can do these things. It's impressive dexterity and a performance just watching it and the results can be so beautiful and tacticle too. Crazy the talent I can see browsing this board. Making me consider trying it so it's interesting to see what papers people are using.

In remembrance of the last paper planes thread, which just so happened to be one of the oldest boards on 4chan that passed away quite recently, this thread will serve as its successor. Hopefully this thread won't be prematurely bumped into oblivion like the last one did.

Anyways, this thread could serve as a sort of "Paper Planes General". Feel free to post your designs, .pdf files, and folding instructions. Anything goes as long as it flies or at least looks like its supposed to.
