Monthly Folding Challenge - May 2010

[el señor b]

joshua,
Are those models all designed by you? The lemur looks like Díaz's.

[joshuaorigami]

yes, all models were designed by me! diaz's lemur has a totally different folding sequence to myne! besides, when i designed it i didn't even have origami essence!

[joshuaorigami]

here, look at the differences between myne and diaz's.(both folded by me)


myne



diaz

The only differences I can see,are the legs and some colour changes.Maybe you accidentely reverse-engineered it with a different folding sequence?

[joshuaorigami]

no, they have totally different cp's and folding sequences. trust me!

[origamimasterjared]

Look at the Lemur's back. In Joshua's, there are a whole bunch of visible layers. In Román's there aren't.

The most noticeable part of Román's ringtailed lemur is the tail. It is simply formed from some diagonal pleats in one corner of the square. There are many other ringtail lemur attempts with similar tails.

Looking at the photos, that appears to be the only thing they have in common. In fact I'm fairly certain I know how Joshua did his, and it's nothing like Román's.

[el señor b]

Oh, ok. Thanks for the clarification. I've never folded Díaz's lemur, so I was just going by the look of the tail, which apparently is pretty common.

[origamimasterjared]

Basic tail CPs:


The divisions, and number of pleats are off, but that's the basic idea behind each. (Correct me if I'm wrong Joshua.)

[RollerCoasterBug]

There is one more that you didn't post, a 22.5 degree version, giving longer strippes, however it wouldn't give nice colored squares going down the tail, more of triangles. But very close. This is a hint to all of you designers still working on a monkey

[origamimasterjared]

Oh, there are other methods. I was just showing a comparison between Román's and Joshua's, to show that the designs are not the same at all.

[Origamist388]

Well,then sorry for that Joshua!

[joshuaorigami]

jared, that is how i did my lemur tail (cp you shown earlier), except the pleats only went half way through the square!

[Fishgoth]

Gorilla. Folded from a square tant paper. Complex 22.5 degree base with a frog-base grafted onto one corner to form the facial features.

[Fishgoth]

Oook. Orangutan folded from tissue foil. Fingers? Check. Beer-gut? Check. Man-boobs (surely simian-boobs)? Check. Folded from a water-bomb base, with a fair bit of box-pleating for the fingers and toes, and a few bird/frog bases thrown in for the colour changes and the face.

fishgoth, those models are great! ill try to design a gorilla today... but im not totally sure of how to capture it.
