Recently I had been discussing my edge-river method (ERM) with several folders on Discord and received fairly good responses. I even began to observe several successful designs emerge from it, so I think it’s about time that I briefly write about the subject. My goal here is to give a quick idea of what ERM […]
It’s really been a while since my last original design, as I was so busy with so many different matters. Back in September I began the designing of this model using my edge-river method, and the precreasing of it was done in early October, but then I was totally sidetracked by the development of Oriedita, […]
Today, likely for the first time in the history of origami, I folded a Senbazuru (literally "a thousand crane") from a single uncut square. Well not in the real world of course, but in the virtual computer space, using again our Orihime algorithm. In this article, I will share with you the story behind it. […]
Using 12GB memory to fold the full Ryujin in 44 minutes certainly was an achievement, but I had this strong feeling that I could still do better. On one hand, both time and space consumption can still be improved. On the other hand, the CP file I used for folding has this weird mountain fold […]
Recently I’ve been spending quite some effort improving the algorithm of Orihime, a program developed by Toshiyuki Meguro. I was hoping to make it capable of folding the complete CP of Ryujin 3.5 (with shaped scales 1) by Satoshi Kamiya, arguably one of the most complicated models ever created. It has been a quest of […]
THIS IS NOT THE NAZI’S SYMBOL!! The Sauwastika (or Sauvastika), is a traditional symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism. Since the Tang dynasty of China, its meaning has been officially defined as "the crossroad of all the good fortunes and virtues". Its mirror image (the Swastika), when tilted, is unfortunately used by the most notorious madman […]
Reason for recommendation: The one and only origami book devoted entirely to the theory of representational origami design. A must-read for anyone who wants to learn how to design. It is impossible to write origami book review articles without mentioning this one, for a very simple reason. Although we do have many books mentioning fragments […]
Reason for recommendation: Best overall origami book. If you can only buy one origami book, then it has to be THIS one. That was my impression when I first finished reading this book years ago. Years have passed since then, and my conclusion remains the same. This book is simply THAT good. The main reason […]
In this article, I will share with you some of the stories behind Box Pleating Studio. I will be talking mostly from the perspective of origami; as for the perspective of programming, one may check out another blog of mine, in which I have a series of articles discussing such topics (only in Chinese though). […]
Domestic Shorthair Cat (Felis catus), designed by me in 2018. This is only the second time I fold this model; last time it was folded with tracing paper (the thinnest paper I could find at the time), and the result wasn’t really satisfactory due to the transparency of the material. Because of the recent pandemic […]
