origami design problem

Post by dakota »

Hello, recently i have gotten bored of the regular origami diagrams, and have decided to make my own, knowing it would be diffucult i still tryed it but, every time i would go to make something, i would know where i wanted things to go but, when the folding was done, it looked like a messy folded rock.

Robert lang's treemaker really helps a lot, but I've noticed it doesn't allow for surfaces, so you couldn't use it to make a box or geometric shape, for example. But if you still get stuck, try approaching it from an entirely different angle. So if you were trying to make the head out of the corner, try making it out of the middle instead. What I also found was that I kept on making the model too large for the paper, so once I got part of it done, there wasn't any paper left for the rest of the model. Because of this, I had to keep making it smaller than what I was wanting and start with a giant piece of paper.

I hope my mini-lecture helped :D
