Here's another version of my wild boar that's bigger and doesn't use metallic paper. (thanks for the tip Ondrej)

Zerobar, that is absolutely incredible!

Would you consider releasing a crease pattern?

Thanks, gimme this weekend.

I might be able to put it up sooner, but I'll definitely be able to do it by this weekend. I did have a request for diagrams. I may give that a shot, but it will take longer than one week. Also, I have no program for it, so if someone could direct me towards a good program for drawing diagrams, I'd be very grateful.

That would be great!

Check out this topic, you may find just what you are looking for for diagraming.

It also gives links to other topics for diagraming programs. I myself haven't diagramed using programs befor, but i think now is a good time for me to give it a try.

Hope that helps,

Rdude

If you're going to make a CP, I have to reccomend Cadstd. I don't know where the download is, probably a simple search could find it.

Robert Lang's Kabuto Mushi (from Origami Insects II)

I decided to take a stab at Lang's Kabuto Mushi. So as not to waste good paper, I did a practice fold on plain old 14"x14" spreadsheet paper. To my surprise, I was able to fold the model without any tears. The model's design was well balanced.

Unlike the other insects from the said book, the legs on this one only had a few layers of paper, making it rather easy to shape.

Yeah, it does. The whole thing isn't all that original, really. But I wasn't trying to copy his, because that would require me to be a lot better... I just folded a 32x32 grid and realized I had a phoenix going, so I finished it. I wasn't thinking of any CP while I was folding it.

A phoenix out of a 32:32 grid? Sounds interesting. Will you be making a Crease Pattern?

today i did a little origami doodle. starting by doing an incomplete pleat, i made a shallow cone, and sank the paper in and out, making this:

Hee hee, I used to do things like that all the time with sheets of paper passed out in class

But its nothing impressive. At all.

True woven dodecahedron by Dave Brill from an A4 sheet of Lokta cut into 6 Equal parts.

What did you think of that paper for a modular model like this?

Most of the lokta that I have used becomes very floppy around the crease, so I'm not sure how well it would hold for something like this.

I thought "Oh, this paper has a very nice gloss, it has to look marvelous if I fold a true woven dodecahedron out of it".
