Hello guys, what happens?I would like you to help me choose a good role of origami, I want to raise my level (Very complex figures) and do complex things but here in Colombia it is impossible to find good quality or special role for origami.A friend in the USA will soon come and can bring me paper. I want to know which one should buy according to my needs.I will put options that I have in mind. My friend is in Florida.
De los de la foto, te recomiendo el #7, el #3 y el tant (#1).¿Has utilizado alguna vez algún papel "especial"? ¿Cuál ha sido el modelo más complejo que has plegado? Porque también depende mucho de esto anterior. Pues, por ejemplo, estos papeles no te servirían para plegar modelos complejos o muy complejos, como los de Shuki Kato o Kamiya (tal vez solo para practicar), pues el papel se va desgastando y "lastimando".Te recomiendo mejor, buscar "duo thai", Unryu (mulberry), shadow fold, alios kraft, tissue foil, hanji, satogami, momigami... Papeles de preferencia, artesanales hechos a mano, como los de la. Tiemds de Nicolas Terry o Pham Hoang Tuan.Si te puedo ayudar en algo más, escríbeme a arellanoarturo636(arroba)gmail.com
>>628117Make your own paper.
You should try making "double tissue" with regular tissue paper and wallpaper paste (or pure methyl cellulose if you can get it). There's lots of different techniques for making it, and shouldn't be hard to find video tutorials. For fancier stuff, I'm not too sure what's around in Colombia but you could look for mulberry fiber papers at art supply stores. You can make those kinds of papers fold very nicely if you treat them with methyl cellulose or wallpaper paste (the same way as you make double tissue).
If so could I please have it
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?
Probably one of the harder things I have done. The Westminster Abbey I have the diagram some where
Another angle
>>547093Can't believe this thread is 9 years old.
RIP to the old pinned posts on all the boards. since they died, this thread is the oldest thread on 4chan now. good job
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)
Anyone1 know Comic origami 3, Otm 209,10Or any Disco, Irc or any other place for em. TYVM
>>627487If you can send Ori Fancy 6, I'll send OTM 210
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.
Are there any examples of origami being used in science besides NASA solarpanels?

>>623910Sheet metal folding.Bellows/accordion.
>>627529love me some compliant mechanisms, these live in a shop window nearby they are very good i think
Spot the differences!(hint: it's really just a color change ;o)Get the parts and instructioins to build your own free papercraft LEGO minifigs (and lots more!) from my papercraft webpage:https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/Have fun building!
Not one new papercraft Tomb Raider vignette in 2024... :o( For 2025 it will be fixed with not one but basically two new papercraft models with this Abominable Snowman Vignette! Have fun building: https://ninjatoes.com/2025/05/11/tomb-raider-2-abominable-snowman-vignette/
Nice papercraft you got going here anon, it looks good! :)I have always found papercraft and origami intriguing, but I have never really committed to making something outside napkin birdsWhat would you recommend for someone new to the hobby?
>>627640Basically, choose a papercraft you like! Papercraft is fun but like everything you start it takes time, and by choosing one you like means you'll do your best to actually finish it (making a papercraft you won't finish because it's too hard/time consuming is really no fun at all ;o). There are lots of free papercrafts you can choose and I think that's why most people like to choose a simple paper toy to start with. So most importantly I think is: have fun! ;o)
>>625190Ey! I have that figure on the right
>>628105That was the Imperial Armada replacement for the blue Imperial Soldier one on the left. They had to think of all kinds of "unofficial" adventures (that was long before Pirates of the Caribbean, like they had the Forestman instead of Robin Hood).I think it was fun to just make your own unofficial adventures instead of remaking official copyrighted movie and game adventures that you can do now, but it's also very fun to remake the movie adventures nowadays! :o)
From the Edo, Meiji or Taisho periods. Here my own attempts at paper models from over 200 years ago.
>>624721So I found them on collections.mfa.org. The website is pretty garbage and laggy and hard to navigate. Fuck this shit.
this is cool
>>624686This thread made my day. Thanks anons.
>>624686It's like glimpsing at another era.
>>624686very nice
Origami paper is pretty much out of my reach.
>>626616I always enter this board by mistakeBut never regret it.
See if you can get a roll of parchment paper at a grocery store (the stuff people use for baking -- not the waxed paper stuff), it's pretty cheap, easy to get, and you can cut big squares from it.Also some wrapping paper can work pretty well, but it's kinda hard to tell which ones are nice for origami without opening up the roll and testing it
I have this problem as well living in Ausfalia. It'll cost a shit ton to import decent paper.
Hijacking this thread to ask a questionI'm working on the gear heart paperwork and the instructions say this about what paper to use16 pieces of 0.25 mm-thick A-4 size (210 x 297) paper. (The original gear’s heart is using Lesac 66 in red, with weight of 175 kg.what is that in gsm? Is Lesac 66 a thing you can buy? the pictures seem to be normalish paper but I'm not sure
>>628077Gsm is grams per square meter. It is basically the thickness of the paper. The weight of the paper is how stiff it is. I think at 175 kg it starts to be cardboard
is there a single video game that's more /po/ than Tearaway?
On the home page of mypapercraft I cant find it.
i finished this nico figure yesterday and her right leg needs some support, but i dont know what i could use as a stand, if u have any ideas i would appreciate it
>>628049yuya sakaki from yugioh arc v. its a guy
yay! she has a stand now
>>628062>>628063Thanks, What are those two characters on your new pic named/from? Also that stand is nice, brand?
>>628064the one in the back with the schyte is dead master from black rock shooter and the other one is an oc by moekami, TipeDOLL-07 (https://moekami.himegimi.jp/download/download.html). the stand is from aliexpress. really cheap
>>628069Thanks a lot and also for the link!
EVA Foam?
>>627600eva FOAM
I don't have things at the moment but I'd love to see more eva templates or sewing patterns. I don't think there's a nice place to find them like the stuff here.
>>628007could try /cgl/
Previous thread's life finally ended after 3 years. >>553409Let's start a new one!
I'm so stuck with the 8th step of the rat, I'm honestly at a loss at how to do it
>>625018What is bothering you in that step?Top part (labeled 1) are rabbit ears (the same kind of fold as you did in step 2); bottom part is just creasing in half.Any picture of your model so far? Maybe a mistake in a previous step is the cause of your problem.
>>625018Are you >>624840 ?You can check >>624841 to see some advice on step 8, maybe it can help...
Looking for a crane that flaps its wings when you pull on the tail.
>>628029It is usually called "flapping bird".Fold from this diagram until "BIRD BASE" step, and follow the flow heading down:https://www.happyfolding.com/files/Crane-and-Flapping_Bird_0.pdf
Hey I’m just getting into origami. Made a couple lotus flowers already. Can’t decide what to do next, please send me some instructions to pick
>>627133Personal opinion. But roses usually look more impressive. There's a bunch of instructions on youtube. Jo Nakashima on youtube has the best origami instructions imo. Most of the other youtube grifters are lazy.
>>627139i love you
They are beautiful, very lovely ( •̀ ω •́ )
>>627133Hey guys, just wondering if you prefer to glue the origamis or to staple them??
>>628058I try to avoid using glue. Because some pieces will have plot twists in them where halfway through they spin or expand and completely change. I use clothes pins or paper clips when I just can't get it to hold together
Hello! I make pepakura for money. Models are usually constructed only once. My pieces are not so much like what we can find online; they tend to be VERY large and intricate, akin to a vg model. This is context for what my advice applies to. If you do it as an easy hobby or stick with truly low poly/tiny part models, a lot won't apply. No pic related just inspo, this is advice dump not my art thread. If you have any questions, why X, tell me more about Z, I am happy to oblige. I rarely use 4chan and wrote this on a whim, sorry if no reply. If you are interested in reaching for the stars with pepakura, here are my personal trade secrets.MATERIALS/TOOLS---Do not score the fold lines by hand. If you have a silhouette cameo, go ahead. To fold by hand purchase a glass scraper. I have two, one with a small 1.5 inch blade and another that is 4 inches. Dull the blade. I align the fold line across my fingers, press down with the blade.---Stop using an xacto knife. Get a snap blade utility knife. I HIGHLY recommend OLFA, XA-1 design. ---Titebond II Premium wood glue. It doesn't cure instantly but that's good, you don't want that. You want to be able to move the tab around into the perfect position before it starts curing. You have a 10 second window to make sure it's in position before it starts curing, then another 10 seconds till you can let go & any tension in the structure won't pull the tab out of place.---Tiny squeezable craft bottles for glue. One of the bottles I added thicker medical syringe tube. It is long, which is good for when I have to apply glue to a tab which is difficult to access The other bottle has a 1 inch long coffee straw, I use that for when I need a lot of glue then spread it around. When a tab is huge I just open a jar of glue and use a brush to paint it on. ---Dental tools.---Little neodymium magnets. I rarely use them, usually to hold a tab in place after the glue has already cured to the point that I can let go. See below
FINAL PRODUCTI never use colored paper or printed textures. If you want a really nice product, move away from that. Texture has its use in hobby pieces.The glue can overflow out of the seam and get on the paper. If you want to get rid of it then you'll have to cut that part off the model and start over. Look up fox pepakura. If I were to design a simple cute lil fox, that kind of coloring fits the model, but even so there is really no point in using colored paper. Just use painters tape to mask the area you want to paint, at that point you can now add subtle detail to your unique piece. Aesthetically, the best part of large, complex pepakura is its geometry. A single light source makes the whole thing pop. Shadow brings it to life, moving the source changes its appearance. When I finish a piece I spray paint it white to remove imperfection. Most of my pieces sell in this state, that is just what most people want when I show them what it looks like with different light sources and light colors cast on it. I inform the buyer that I can paint it a different solid color, or I can give it a more intricate paint job with undershading/zenithal highlight and/or a more realistic design that doesn't take away from the geometry. For example, a seahorse would do well with a base color, alternate coloring of specific geometry (using painters tape to mark off sections), eyes, and free form spray painting (letting the paint spit out in little drops, spraying highlight on tail tip, undershading), finalize with matte/clear glaze. The geometry is retained and highlighted through this paint job. Don't overdo. My goal is not to make it appear realistic like VGs do to convince you it does't have geometry. I'm not going to print texture on it, not going to use a paintbrush. If I wanted to make a giant realistic seahorse I wouldn't be using paper as a medium. Its form is inherently geometric. Any color design should compliment that.
GOING BIGWorking with such large paper models requires support. 3D printing at this scale has so much imperfection, time and risk of failure, it would be very heavy and require a complex web of internal support. As an art form, sculpting/mold pouring also isn't under threat from this tech in my eyes. For my pieces, shoddy woodworking as a skeleton does the job and I pad the areas were wood contacts the paper with pool noodles, pillow filling wrapped in fabric, fire hazard stuff. 120 lb paper is flexible, surprisingly resilient, and the final product is so lightweight it's never going to warp if properly supported. I use wood glue so the paper will rip before the tabs will ever become unsecured.I've had to finish assembly after transport on site, that's something I avoid, logistic crap. I tend to base the size of my largest pieces around standard dimensions. Standard height of a ceiling, standard width and height of a door and double doors. LxWxH is not a determine factor, you can maneuver a piece diagonally and twist it around to make it fit through a frame. MODELINGidk. I have no formal training. I studied art from my favorite games, Bloodborne and Dark Souls, looked at art, texture-less models. At first I only made symmetrical models and added asymmetrical parts afterwards. Just get blender go on youtube and practice. I copied a bunch of low poly tutorials and then my first model was a huge leap into complexity. If you're making a cat and the proportions look weird just look at a reference and keep messing with it till it seems right. Once you have the proportions right you can make the polygons look more geometric-y. I am not a creative person. I do this in reverence of objective beauty and other's art, try to reverently replicate it in this form. Thanks for reading I hope this helped or inspired you
thank you for this excellent thread
Nice thread, cheers for the glass cutting tool tip.
thank you for these tips
