I cannot hex pleat, but I am fairly sure it is like box pleating, but instead of using 45 degree angles to make "boxes" you use 60 degree angles to make "hexagons".
Please, add me on flickr and tell me what you think!

Hex pleating IS pretty much boxpleating, you're just doing it on a hexagonal grid. There's not too much to explain-- you go through the same process of drawing a stick figure, forming a polygon/river packing, and drawing a CP.
If there are any of those steps you're having trouble with, maybe we can help?

The closest I know of are the scales on the turtle by Robert Lang, but there are no long separated points as such (though fiddling does get you points if you try)...Hellome360 wrote:could anyone perhaps show a hexp pleated cp and a guide for it?
I think (?) I've read elsewhere on this forum that hexpleating would get some space in the second edition of ODS though...

Re: hex pleating
hex pleating uses hexagonal symetry- as Lang describes it on his website: http://www.langorigami.com/art/gallery/ ... corpion_hp

Re: hex pleating
In terms of collapsing a crease pattern, hex pleating is the same as box pleating. The problem is, though, most times people don't know how to make the actual triangular grid. The book Origami Design Secrets by Robert Lang can help with that. It also explains the math and packings behind the math of origami, which is crucial to know if you are enthusiastic about designing your own models.
