Crease Pattern FAQ

[fold-it-all]

yes it is true, you can find many other creases ,sometimes, by folding all of the long "structural" creases . as far as box pleating is a little different, which I cant help with due to lack of practice with box pleating except for Kamiyas phoenix.

I am thinking about trying Satoshi's Phoenix 3.5 from cp soon. I got paper that was way too thick though.... I haven't done to may cps yet, but most were completed. I actually think cps are more fun than diagrams personally.

Could someone please suggest some good (not too easy not too hard) cp to start with?
I folded some Robert Lang models maybe its good place to start with?

[Scotsdreamer]

The only CP I have ever managed to fold successfully was Langs Stetson (from his website) was very simple and he even indicated the valley and mountains.

every other CP I have tried have ended up being the all too common crunched ball

does anyone know of guides so you can start at the very very basic and work your way up?

robert lang is insanely hard, i think a crease pattern would be even worse O_O

[Vkai]

Some time ago i found page with crease patterns ordered from simple to cplex but cant find it now:(
As i remember it was black page with maybe red font? Not sure,will be very glad for any help.
Edit Hehe just found it,if anyone is interested its http://spinflipper.com/origami/cp/toc.html

Yeah a good starter CP would be the dobsonfly, it's pretty straightfoward, and there should be a topic on this site to guide you if you need help. I started with that one on Anna's advice

[Pop pop]

i think a good starter cp is master eric joisel's dwarf

Whats a refernce point and what it is used for?
