Any Pangolin
I saw pictures of Eric Joisel's pangolin and fell in love with it. I know he doesn't diagram anything, but are there other pangolin diagrams available?

it's just a kind of tessellation with varying scale sizes made into a pangolin.

Yes, "just"...newbpcpfolder wrote:it's just a kind of tessellation with varying scale sizes made into a pangolin.
I have no idea why simplicity in design should be a problem or why it should be belittled as your post suggests, willingly or not; especially when it is coupled with original ideas and exceptional folding skills. What's the point in "understanding" complex folds if you don't master the folding process in itself ?

yeah.i know.......sorry 'bout that, but by "just" I meant that he tessellated a "just"(simple" pattern on to it. I think i should have described it better.

A possibility as I see it would be he started with a massive square, then added a bunch of pleats both ways but making the squares different sizes; the pleats would be thinner on the edges than in the middle. Then maybe he just went from there?orion119net wrote:actually while the subject is floating around, how did Joisel make the scales get smaller? I think I might be overcomplicating things(which I do a lot actually), but I can't figure it out.

I think you hit it quite accurately, the pleats are packed closer on the edges, following something close to a logarithmic progression. I'm not entirely sure, but I think he may have detailled this a little bit on the french-speaking forum, as one of its members actually got a rather impressive result, albeit still not to the level of the original... Your nickname suggests you may be able to browse this without translation too

well that's what I was guessing, but I just can't figure out how he got the pleats closer. Since the pleats have to run the entire paper, they would interfere with the larger pleats. Only solution I can think of is that the pleat lines aren't straight, but curved somehow, which would also curl the paper... does this sound like it could be right?
I'll give it a shot when I'm not supposed to be doing homework and see what happens, unless someone tells me I'm totally daft in the head(which I am, but still).

The scales don't all need to be based on squares, they can be rectangular; I'm quite sure the pleats are parallel though... also, maybe you're not picturing their orientation correctly ?
