The Origami Forum

Hi I have never really folded up a model from a Crease Pattern and i REALLY want to make models such as ( Satoshi Kamiya - Ryu Zin CP ) < is there any Diagrams these days for us to fold this and make it into the completed Model any help will be much appreciated.


Thks in Advance.


P:S for Many CP these Days is there any website like this that I can Request a Diagramming of a CP...

Are you looking for diagrams for a Ryujin or diagrams for CPd models in general? Because there are no complete diagrams for any of the Ryujins.

As far as requesting diagrams for a specific CP, I don't know of any sites. But really, the reason people don't diagram models is that they often don't have a folding sequence at all.
The only advice I can give you is to start trying some simple CPs. I would recommend some easier box-pleated ones especially if you want to fold the Ryujin, and also because my first CP was box-pleated 9Jon Tucker's Centerfold). This is also a pretty good first CP because it introduces some level-changes and different angles, which show up in a lot of more advanced CPs.

You come to Centerfold? I was there last year, and I am coming this year.

I taught the rose last year. I'm not sure if I met you though.

Trouble is, I don't know it I'll be able to come this year, but if I do, I'll teach my dragon.

there is a leaked photo of unfinished ryuzin 2.1 diagrams :O

Firtha12 go on http://design.origami.free.fr/indexEN.html. It has awsome diagrams. Hope I helped you.

In terms of diagrams for crease patterns, Hideo Komatsu has crease patterns for most of his models on his website, and a lot are published (you can also buy his new book later this month). I don't know if it'll help much, but at least you have the crease pattern to look at and the diagrams for them.

I learned how to fold boxpleated models by looking to the video of tadashi mori's scorpion.
Search it on youtube because it helped me a lot

Robert Lang has a bunch of cps on his website and some of them are published in his books (i.e. ODS, Complete Book of Origami, Origami Insects, etc.)

I learned crease patterns by comparing what I was doing during a diagram to the crease pattern. Shuki Kato's Western helped me a lot with 22.5 degree theory, as it is easy to see why you are doing a certain step when you look at the diagram. Kept that in mind when you fold diagrams, and you will start to make connections.
