Title: origami
Post by: Zovistograt on July 12, 2008, 10:20:24 AM
Recently, I have found that I love folding paper to make 3D animals and things like that.  It is really fun, and you only need squares of paper to do so.

Anybody else like origami?  Anyone masterful at it?  I'm still a noob D:

No. I tried to make the "simple" swan one time, though. It looked like...a tumbleweed making out with a fish. That's the best way to describe it.

I should take a shot at it sometime...

Dunno if this quite counts as paper "folding," but I've done some of these.

Not exactly.  Papercraft relies on pre-cut and thus pre-shaped shapes to make intricate figures or other 3D models.  Origami forces you to make all shapes out of either a single or multiple pieces of square (or in some cases, rectangular or even triangular) pieces of paper.

It's still cool though :3
