My latest origami creation

[bronchuseven]

Old school-wattm'rs will perhaps remember my previous origami threads. I have a new piece made from some vinyl folders I found with really sweet designs printed on them (see nopattern.com).

 

This guy's made from 20 strips - no glue or tape needed to hold it together.

 

Corner-centred view.

 

Edge-centred view.

 

These books weigh over 15 lbs. The shape distorts, but is restored once the weight is removed.

 

Am I too late to win IDM-as-fuck thing of the year?

That is a cool thing that you have made from folded strips of vinyl

[BCM]

cool!

[marf]

youd have to read those books to figure out a way to fold that thing

[Braintree]

Wow, dude. That is quite impressive.

[chenGOD]

That is badass indeed. Any chance of getting a high-res version of the second picture?

[bronchuseven]

This is the best one I've got, unfortunately:

Woot!

Great work, bronchuseven!

 

I love this shit. I actually know what that shape is called, and I've very recently got back into the whole origami thing. I used to make polyhedra by cutting out templates and sticking them together. I still have quite a collection.

 

This is something I made a couple of weeks ago:

 

(edit: Here's a slightly better picture:)

 

 

Your approach is quite inspiring. I need to get some coloured sheets of paper, maybe with some of those cool patterns you used.

 

I'm currently working on something big made from Sonobe units, which I'll show you when I'm done.

[bronchuseven]

Awesome! I'm familiar with the normal Sonobe unit - I started out making that exact shape you just posted. Keep at it!!

[bronchuseven]

Hmm... I assumed the watmm pic hosting would retain the original size, but it looks like it got shrunk :(

get the real fullsized version here: http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/14/34/51/25/triang11.jpg

[chenGOD]

Sweet! That's gonna make a great desktop :)

[bronchuseven]

Cheers man, I'm very flattered

[Dragon]

Hey guys. I've just been working on the big model, and I took some in-production pictures.

 

 

Also there's a better picture of the first model in my above post.

[bronchuseven]

Nice, that's the Sonobe unit I remember, all right. Might I recommend using multiple colours? You don't have to buy "origami" paper - construction paper will work just fine, and really add a new dimension to your finished work.

I'd pay a decent amount for one of these pieces of art.

[bronchuseven]

Well, the piece in the first post is for sale. Or were you talking to Rhombix?

I was talking to you. I get paid in 3 weeks or so. I would happily give you money for one of these creations.
