Hmmm, tricky one. I collapsed the base without too much trouble - or at least I collapsed a base, but I'm not sure it's right. I can't see how to get from the base I have to the rabbit in the picture - the front legs seem to go completely the wrong way.

Anyone else had a go at this?

I don't know what base Mark Leonard folded, but I had a go at this model and I collapsed a base. On another topic someone mentioned assigning direction to vertexes and I had my first try with the rabbit's CP, so why don't you try and and see if you can finish the model from the vertex assigned CP? For simplicity I only noted the convex vertexes with the ^ sign. The ones that are not noted should be assumed as concave.


Here's the URL for it:

I would have included the image directly into the posr but angelfire does not allow direct linking

It is not an article, it is just a post on this same board at this threadhttp://snkhan.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2119#2119 the second post on that page. The author is wolf and it is just a proposal of some sort.

I wouldn't blame you if you gave up following that thread, as a little unpleasentness seems to have crept in...

I think the idea of vertex assignation is interesting, but I haven't really tested it out yet. It could be a significant advance in crease patterns, or it could be a dead end - at the moment I don't know which. I did make an attempt at the new version of the rabbit CP, but I ran into problems again. Unfortunately I think I threw away my first attempt, so I'm not entirely sure if these are the same problems as I had the first time, and I'm not sure whether the vertex assignations helped or not. I do know that I don't yet have a rabbit.

I can't tell if it's easier either, since I'd already attempted it without the vertex assignment. Anyway I think I got the same flat folded base.

There's a photo of the same rabbit on Gilad's website:
http://www.angelfire.com/art/gilad/PG_Rabbits.html

At least, it's listed as the same rabbit (the one from Tanteidan Magazine #53).

Mark, referring to your earlier post - assuming you've gotten the same base, I think the legs are simply valley folded down, and then narrowed with a rabbit ear (with the vertex of the rabbit ear pointing towards the front). This eventually does give you something that looks like the rabbit in the original photo.

After I made the vertex assigned CP I thought of another method that would be even easier to draw since adding that ^sign is not always easy when vertices are too close.

My idea was to put a color dot on the convex vertices and leave the concave ones untouched. See the same rabbit CP at

What do you think?
