The Origami Forum

you know it to make was 2008 japon challege?


thank

Here's a better photo from Brians' flickr. And I think the whole model is from one piece of paper.

another of brian's ultra-complex pieces,if anyone can figure this out they're amazing

that model is very nice!!!!!!!!

I think it's from rectangle.

None of Brian's pieces so far have been from rectangles, at least as far as those that he posts crease patterns for. I don't think there's any reason to believe that this one would be different. His origami in incredibly complex and clever also. I'm sure he would have found a way to do it from a square. It might even be insulting to his genius to suggest it was from a rectangle

And that makes it less impressive? Using a rectangle is fine, cuts, glue and multiple sheets (unless it's true "modular" Origami) are not.

I found this on flickr, the crease pattern is too small to decipher but it's from a square.

Good tries to make

Looks like almost half the paper is used for the dude, and the other half is used for the bull

That is also arguable. Traditional origami used cuts regularly, MC (or glue) is commonly used while shaping by many top folders, and Joseph Wu has achieved great results folding representational models from multiple sheets. It depends on your personal philosophy and what you are willing to do to get a finished model to look good.

No mate, I simply meant that use of a rectangle is perfectly acceptable as long as the aformentioned rules are not broken. I know that many traditional models have breached these rules and I know that folders such as Tomoke Fuse' have produced many fantastic multi-piece creations.

However, I've not heard of folders using glue to shape models, I'll have to try it on my Weiss alligator, thanks for the tip.

could someone post a more clear redrawn cp please?

Methylcellulose (MC) is what you're looking for.

I've found the cp for this model, and i have half done it, really complex, I don't know where you can find it on internet, a friend past it on to me, i'll try to scan it and give it to you
