I've made a tessellation of triangles, formed by closed back iso-area hexagonal twists:

It was folded from a triangle of kami. It's pretty much the same as this tessellation folded by Joel Cooper:

Dice by Tanaka Masashi from CP with 15cm x 15cm Japanese foil

Yes, it's one square, no cuts, but it has all the eyes created with colour-changes. Definitely one of the coolest models in existance.

This is a first try and some of the eyes didn't turn out that nicely. I'll have to try again with slightly bigger paper.

Pretty cool daydreamer!

Where was the cp? Then diagrams are in one of the tanteidan mags. Is the CP online? Not that I could fold it though...

Actually it is only the CP which was as Crease Pattern Challenge in Tanteidan Magazine 65. I'm not aware of any diagrams for this model.

Yeah, ok. I was lookign for the Cp, and in the tanteidan mag, the dice was under the "diagrams" section, so I assumed it was diagramed

Thanks

the bottom of this dice I think is colapsed properly but the dots are too big and if I continued the colapsing of the rest of the model would not be big enough. Also the triangle at the bottom right of the image seems way too small (3 times too small). any help anyone especialy daydreamer
ok thanks allot.

The most important thing about the CP for the dice is that it doesn't really include the dots of the dice. What you get is a number of flaps for each side of the dice, which you can then use to create the dots. Also, the side length of the dice will be 1/13 of the original square size (i.e. one unit in the 13x13 grid)

2-3 days ago, I folded a new dinosaur, it's the sauropod specie! I saw the picture of this dinosaur in my computer when I opened my dinosaur library! And I tried to design it with all toes! Yes, I will fix and show lately! I named my design model "Omeisaurus".
