It is interesting to me that you follow your paragraph asking how the book is elitist with a paragraph saying the point of the publication is so the diagrammers can give each other a Christmas present. I would consider them to be an elite group.ahudson wrote:How is it elitist? Anybody can draw diagrams for a traditional model. Most of the better diagrams from this book will end up getting published somewhere else eventually, anyhow.
The suggestion of having a price tag that goes to the upkeep of the forum is a nice idea-- but the point of this publication is so the diagrammers can give each other a christmas present. We spend the rest of the year releasing diagrams to the public, is it really a problem for us to make diagrams for each other for once?
You are right, some designers will certainly save their designs for publication in something like Tanteidan. One major difference is that anyone can buy a copy of the Tanteidan book. However, my personal philosophy about it is more in line with oschene's. If I haven't been able to explain it yet, I probably don't have the spare time to explain it well enough now. Don't worry about it.I'm not sure why you have a problem with this. Many designers save their best work for submission to the Tanteidan convention book every year-- how is this any different?
My mother read that story to me as a child. If it seems somehow relevant to my points then perhaps you have misread either the story or my post since I am not suggesting anyone get something for nothing.My grandmother used to read a story to me called "The Little Red Hen" and I have many fond memories of it. Here's a link if you haven't read it yet.
As I said before, CPs aren't my strength, but feel free to send it my way and I'll see if I can do something with it. It'd be a nice challenge.Lephantome92 wrote:If anyone wants to diagram something, I have a Centipede crease pattern!!
