This isn't unique to tissue foil - tissue foil is just a lot easier to mould and shape than other types of paper.mattress67 wrote:I simply think tissue foil allows a folder to mold the shape rather than fold it.
Dry, tension folding allows you to get curves and three dimensionality, but this has to be worked into the model design beforehand.
Wet/MC-folding is another standard method for moulding; it's not just limited to heavier weight papers (traditionally done for animals), but also to extremely thin, backcoated papers (for insects and other complex, many-legged things). It takes a lot longer, because often you can't finish all the wetfolding at once, instead you'll have to focus on one spot, wetfold and let it dry, before moving on to the next part of the model to sculpt. Heat lamps, hair dryers and microwave ovens make the drying process a lot less frustrating.

Kind of on topic:
Does anyone know what happened to Herman van Goubergen? His models were unusual in that he didn't stick to any one style; each of his designs explored a different idea or technique. The last items that I'm aware of him creating were his tension modulars from 2000. Has he given up origami since then?
