this is really interesing but i cant find it anywhere

so in other words anyone have any idea how its made? tape used?

Nobody who knows how to fold this?? I'm interested to find out how this one was folded.

impressive

for this even i would try modulars

I think the units are using equilateral triangles. Here's a unit I folded, from a Tomoko Fuse design.



Three units together:



What do you think?

Now that you put it like that it seems logical, just cram a lot more of these together and bingo I guess. Will try it tomorrow.

In which book is this unit described?? I have the Unit Origami from Tomoko Fuse, is it in there??

Yes it's in that book. Page 26.

It must be another page in my book as page 26 is the triangular pattern belt. How is it called in your book??

Hmm, are you looking at Unit Polyhedoron Origami? My book is first edition, printed July 2006. The unit is in chapter 3, Regular Dodecahedron Structures Made from 30 Rhomboid Units.

No, I meant I have Multidimensional transformation Unit Origami. So Thy unit is in Unit Polyhedoron. Will order that book.

Thanks for sharing this video. I will send it to my colleague which is especially focused to unit origami. She will love it.

Well I tried folding a five pointed module with the equilateral triangle unit and it's no good. It will only stay closed or open. Reviewing the video, it looks more like an isosceles triangle unit. Back to the drawing (folding?) board!

try making these modules making 5 inside colored and five outside colored and try it. http://www.geocities.com/mmukhopadhyay/ ... /isos.html

Thanks Redgator. I think we're getting close with those. But I tried both versions and they're still not right. I'll post a video of the problem and maybe we can find a solution.

well i've been on a trip for a while but i do know somewhat how it was made. it was made using glue:-( its works by using like 12 groups of origami then gluing them all together

Yes it will definitely need glue. The popping open and closed would tear a modular apart. I was able to get a working unit using the 45 degree isosceles unit linked above. Now just to make 12 more
