I'm looking for diagrams for modular 2D stars that really hold without glue. My flagship here is Maria Sinayskaya's Braided Corona star. You know what I mean! But you have to try it out anew each time. So I'm folding my way through the 2D star world—always looking for new models. I'm specifically looking for diagrams or video tutorials for stars that can't be found by simply Googling (sorry. My search skills aren't sufficient beyond Googling, ChatGPT, and this 4chan board). These include:

Maria Sinayskaya: Brina Star, Camilla Star, Susanna Star, Tereza Star,

Evan Zodl: Interstellar, Maria's Star, and other stars!

Usman Rosyidhi: Deca Star; Rotari Star, Sturroya Star

Maximilliano Ortiz: both star books

etc.

Last but not least, the stars are for an already successful, ongoing social project. I have no personal commercial interest in this, but I would like to expand my portfolio for the project.

So please share with me, and thank you very much!

I want to create a PMC/User Version of Death Wish/Taken where a severly autustic guy who lives in a group home becomes a vigilante after his primary caretaker is killed. No one belives hes the vigilante until they discover his seemingly harmless channel,but in the end he is found not mentally competent to stand trial and is let free. The same incompetent law enforcement that let his caretaker’s brutalized walk free has also let himself walk free..
The challenge was to make a mask that was scary and effective while still looking like it could’ve been made by a disabled person. In my original drafts this is supposed to be his “first mask” like he lacks the mental capacity to understand what vigilantism is but he knows that if he gets caught killing people,good or bad,he would get caught (though he’s unaware that nobody would believe he was the vigilante anyways due to his condition). So he constructs a “crappy” mask,but over time the group home teaches him paper mache so he learns to make better and better ones. It’s hard to make something look bad on purpose without it looking… bad. I was inspired by kids making paper Micheal Myers masks mainly.

He doesn't understand the concept of vigilantism,but he has a good moral compass,so he's aware he can go to prison for murder despite the fact no one would believe he's the one doing it. So at first he creates a rather crude mask out of printer paper and tape,but thanks to arts and crafts at the group home he slowly makes better and better paper mache ones.

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

Just spraying a clearcoat can cause fuzziness, transparency staining, warping, and collapse.
Paint the entire model with PVA glue/Elmers/Aiileens/white paper glue, slowly a portion at a time drying being sessions.
When fully coated and dry, spray with an acrylic clear coat, it bonds with PVA and creates a glossy, slightly moisture repellent, dustable surface.
Best advice: take all recommendations ITT and test them on scraps of paper to learn what works.

Nice, this is the thread I need rn.

Should I use glossy paper or normal papper? Just tell me the name of the right one, what are the specs?

I'm a noob, but I WANT to make pic real and I NEED it to be shiny.
>>
Just use modge podge on it
>>
>>628751
i think glossy paper is a pain in the ass to do paper craft with. i think coating the paper (before cutting) with a shiny-drying glue or modpodge is the way to go. you'd have to experiment which glue does not smudge the ink or warp the paper...
i don't have experience with this, though and i would bet that anything you put on it results in at least slight warping of the paper. in woodworking you solve this by treating both sides of it, so the forces that lead to warping even out.
good luck! (also FUCK this captcha bullshit)

Say nice things about it

I know there are ways to mathematically create models but can't you just iterate faster with paper in hand?
Then you just trace over photos.
I don't think anyone is using physics simulators to create their diagrams. In addition, diagrams often have over-exaggerated proportions on some steps to make them easier to read/understood by the reader (instead of being realistic).

>How are origami recipes made
>Is it like a computer program or something
For those who are really serious, there are in fact strings of words or symbols that abbreviate the folds.
For example, the crane you posted begins with what we call the "bird base" (step 8). We use this base for many other origami projects, so we all learn how to make it.
From there, your crane uses kite folds, petal folds, and reverse folds. A formula of sorts can be written to describe the entire process.
>>
>>626587
OH, so that's what a squash fold is, I was confused by wiki how's written instruction and had to watch the gif carefully. I used to fold paper cranes but I forgot how. I just want to do something with my foil tea wrappings other than throw them straight out single-use...I would like recipes for boxes and stars/flowers to decorate them with please, snowflakes?

I pick a base and mess around, then pick an animal that looks like whatever I end up with
