Need help with a crease pattern

Post by AquaDragon »

Is anybody able to remake this crease pattern (below) for a Latios so blue lines mean valley folds and red lines mean mountain folds? I know the crease lines are already there, but a lot of the lines are too small to determine what fold the crease needs.

Hmm, well, it should be straightforward enough. I'm assuming you don't have all that much experience with crease patterns, which is fine, because I think this a pretty good CP to learn from. Now here's a few tips:

On the left and bottom edges, all you've got are pleats. As you can see, theres alternating valley and mountain folds. The ares where the creases get really small, the feet, are basically sinks that go in and out, so again, alternating mountain and valley folds.

If you still have trouble, just give it a try. Do some experimenting on your own and you'll start to notice the patterns and eventually figure stuff out just by looking at it.

If you need help and I have time (after this Thanksgiving weekend), I can redraw the CP for you. But I think you'd get the most out of it by figuring it out for yourself, becuase most CPs dont give you the luxury of distinctions between the directions of the folds.

On a random note, as a former Pokemon fan, I'm suprised how well this piece was designed. Nice find.

JeossMayhem, in case you are interested: Shintaro Miyamoto has a lot more very nicely designed pokemons (and other models) most of them with CP on this homepage:

Hah, yea, I remember I've been there.
I'm not into Pokemon anymore though. I still buy the video games just because they're so good, but I hate the show :lol: . He's a great designer, no doubt. Yet, I might be more impressed by how he takes decent photos of tissue foil, haha.

I've never really been that good at finding reference points, but I'll try and help. What I find that works well is copying the crease pattern and pasting in on something like Microsoft Word. Then insert a line and try and figure out a main crease that could be an easy fraction of a paper. I think that method works for this, and the side grafts for the feet should take up 1/6 of the paper. That reference point should help you with the rest of the creases. Hope this helps!
