I just finished this model and I realized a few things: always print your models using inkjet, not laser because the laser toner cracks when you fold it and white lines show up. also, never use liquid super glue on thin paper because it bleeds terribly. i only use gel super glue because its thicker and spreads evenly

Recently I got inspired by this guy who models their cosplays with cardboard and I got surprised by how good the round shapes ended up look like.
I only want to make a mask with round shapes but every tutorial I found uses straight strokes for the template and I want to know if I can find more information of how to do it the other way

For searchable terms: a **dart** is the sewing/pattern term for the type of cut shown in your helmet pattern photo used to turn a flat surface into a ball-like curved surface. The opposite concept of adding material to get a saddle-shaped surface doesn't have an exactly analogous term in sewing to my knowledge, but **godet** comes kinda close.
>>
>>628206

If you just want to start getting your hands dirty, one way to come up with 2d cutting patterns like you see here is to work backwards from 3d to 2d. For example, let's suppose you wanted to design a suit of cosplay armor that will fit you, and you want to know what shapes to cut out of foam or cardboard that can be fitted together into your armor. You get a friend to wrap your whole body in saran wrap, then wrap around that saran wrap with duct tape.

Then you draw on the duct tape with a sharpy and try to partition the surface of into areas that have roughly zero gaussian curvature (either flat-ish surfaces like the front of your chest, cylindrical-ish sections like your upper arm, or conical sections like the taper of your forearm), areas with negative gaussian curvature (pringle/saddle shapes, like where your pectoral muscle attaches to the arm), and areas with positive gaussian curvature (roughly spherical bumps like your shoulders or roughly spherical indents like your armpits). mark each region with a +, -, or 0 according to what its curvature is.

Once you separate the surface into these curvature areas mark each side of each label each side of each sharpie line with a number so you can put it all back together later. Then carefully cut off the saran/duct tape along the sharpie lines, preferably with kiddie scissors so you don't stab yourself.
>>
>>628207

Now sort the pieces +, -, and 0 piles. The zero pieces should flatten out nicely as they are. They can just be cut out of foam as they are. + and - pieces will stubbornly not want to lie flat as they are.

The (+) pieces will get taught around the edges and loose in the middle when you try to flatten them. They may even tear around the edges if you try too hard. To get it to lie flat, you add some some labeled sharpie lines around the outside then cut them (like in your helmet photo). These are your darts. Do this until it lies flat.

The (-) pieces will get all wrinkly and fold over themselves around the edges if you try to flatten them. to get these flat, you gotta remove some material around the edges. Draw some pizza slices (godots) around the outside and label the edges, then cut the pizza slices all the way out, but hold onto them. Do this until each of the pieces lies more or less flat with no overlap around the edge of each main (-) piece. Now you have a bunch of flat pieces which you can trace onto your cardboard or whatever. Add a little extra size around all edges (except for the edges from darts and godots) so the thing isn't skin-tight. Cut all the pieces, bend them into shape, and glue them together by the edge labels. Now you have some fitted armor.
>>
>>628208

If you want to learn about this stuff in more detail here are a few different avenues you can dive into pretty deep:

For sewing and patterning stuff: look up Colette Wolff's "The Art of Manipulating Fabric". Which covers darts and godots and a million other things that come in handy for this kinda work.

To learn about the curvature type stuff requires a lot of math background, but generally speaking this is the primary topic of differential geometry of surfaces. Here's a URL to a free textbook pdf: https://docenti.ing.unipi.it/griff/files/dC.pdf

Chapters 1 through 4 would get you to a working knowledge of why the saran-wrap and duct tape method with the +, -, and 0 curvature regions works. Fair warning that diff geo pretty much demands you understand multivariate/vector calculus and linear algebra, and maybe some real analysis.

I have also seen someone mention developable surfaces, which is the principle object of study in paper-folding mathematics, AKA computational origami. That's another fruitful avenue of study, but I warn it's significantly more challenging math than the diff-geo. That being said, you can just use tools other people have made based on this math without understanding it. Here's a list of resources you could use to wet your beak surrounding comp origami: https://langorigami.com/article/computational-origami/

Does anybody have diagrams for this model? They can be found in SAOC "origami Records vol1" the book with shipping is too expensive just for the one model.

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

Make 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).

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 question

I'm working on the gear heart paperwork and the instructions say this about what paper to use

16 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
>>
>>628077
Gsm 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
