Your right that it is good.. But let me tell you something.phillipcurl wrote:that's good. otherwise, it would have been like one of Lang's infamous "measure and mark these 30 points" models.
Have you ever diagrammed a model? I know you diagrammed that star for OrigamiUSA, but like an animal? I've been diagramming some of my animals, and it takes sometimes 3 hours to completely draw the last step (the finished model). It's very painful. So for someone like Lang, who has to draw out these 200+ diagramming sequences, time is an important factor. To diagram references which most of the dang on time is harder than folding it, is hard. Please, do not scold Lang like how he diagrams references. It is much harder than you think.. I have Lang's Origami Design Secrets - Second Version, in his moose diagrams it does have the mark and measure points, but without that it actually would be more confusing.. So please don't say that. I do not know what program Shuki is using. Either way, it is very hard to diagram animals or even anything no matter what the software. To even get to a point where you can make a diagram look good, takes hours. So you use a technique to abridge the time to make a part of the diagram.
Another example of this is when people say "you should make diagrams of that" or "when are you going to diagram this?" Most people do not understand what they are asking. Things take time. Diagramming takes almost too much time, that at some times I've been wanting to just forget diagramming models and just make CPs. But not everyone knows how to use CPs, so they resort to diagramming. Not everyone can afford diagrams in books so a select few (just in general not on this forum) resort to torrenting which makes diagrammers think that diagramming is worthless and not worth the time. So when people ask for diagrams, some designers get frustrated when that is asked because the person asking that does not realize the time it takes. If that is asked in a friendly way, instead of "Diagrams please" then some people at least consider it. Sorry to get off topic, but this also needed to be stated as a general statement.
So I hope you get the point.
