Well Lang told me I can understand the design technique without understanding the math so I guess I'm fine :B

You've met him?
:lol: yes, my maths teacher will do anything for a nicely folded model! Even a not-nicely folded model! If i bought the book, couldn't understand the maths and asked her to help, she'd be stunned that she could help me with origami (stunned emphasis on she, help, me and origami)

What? And he actually replies? He must get so much mail, most of it junk mail from people saying "we love you Lang" and "fold me a birthday present Rob!" i'm suprised he'd be bothered to check if some of it was different. You're probably quite lucky in some sense. Wow.

That's what I used to think. I have sent him several emails and he always replies with a helpful nice answer.

Wow. Thanks! If i really need some help, i know where to go! I've also just been offered a 3 and a bit month late birthday present. Design secrets was at the top of the list. The other items were twice as expensive and down the list a very long way because i'd underlined 2nd edition so much.

I'm thinking about making a tutorial on CPs. Does anyone have any requests for anything to be taught or talked about in a tutorial related to crease patterns?

I agree with HankSimon, I love that model and would like to have instructions for it, even though the CP is pretty simple.

Write to your audience about how cps can show you what a model even looks like before it's folded- don't just do the basic stuff.
Do some mystery crease patterns as well- just to demonstrate stuff.
A tutorial to the Warai might be good as well, even though it's pretty simple.

I love the Warai, but thank you for the suggestions guys!
I will be sure to make it in depth instead of brief like the usual.
Are any of you opposed to mathematics being a large part of the tutorial?

Also are there any crease patterns that have vague reference points? I have looked for a few to practice finding them but I can't find any that aren't obvious.

I wouldn't mind mathematics being a large part of the tutorial whatsoever.

Dai Lu(love20075) has some insane crease patterns on his photostream, I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for though.

Dai Lu's are mostly grid based aren't they?
