octagonal star twist draft crease pattern

very, very hacked together crease pattern. I’m pasting my notes from the entry here…

———–

this was a really poor chop job I did in illustrator so I had something to reference as I folded. I realize the lines don’t match up at all, but I’m working off a hand-generated set of pre-creases anyway so this is really more of a visual guide than anything. it’s a little trickier than the hexagonal star twist, although much of the thought process is the same. there’s a lot more excess material due to the sharper angles involved so it’s quite a bit more unwieldy. I’m glad I didn’t jump straight to the dodecagon twist like I had originally been thinking!

Look for a formalized CP and document release of this model sometime… next week? not sure when, I guess whenever I get around to it 🙂

el suyo era un trabajo realmente pobre de la tajada que hice en ilustrador así que tenía algo que referirme mientras que doblé. Realizo que las líneas no emparejan para arriba en todos, pero estoy trabajando de un sistema mano-generado de pre-pliegues de todos modos así que éste es realmente más de una guía visual que cualquier cosa él es una poco más difícil que la torcedura hexagonal de la estrella, aunque mucho del proceso del pensamiento es igual allí es material mucho más exceso debido a los ángulos más agudos implicó así que es absolutamente un pedacito más poco manejable. ¡Estoy alegre yo no salté derecho a la torcedura del dodecagon como había estado pensando originalmente!

ÂżBusque un CP formalizado y documente el lanzamiento de esta semana del modelo alguna vez… despuĂ©s? no seguro cuando, conjeturo siempre que le consiga alrededor.

more origami octagonal twist photos

I uploaded a pile of photos of octagonal origami twists in various states of construction. nothing fancy, just a bunch of snaps that I was taking while playing around with some folds in case I “broke” something and had to go back to photos for reference.

they are located at a semi-permament (until I get a new gallery template) location: www.origamitessellations.com/gallery/origami-octagonal-twist/.

John McKeever folds the spread hexagon tessellation!


Wow, I was browsing some of my favorite origami sites checking for updates and I saw this:

I was so pleased! John McKeever’s tessellation and other origami work are just mind blowing, so needless to say I felt quite happy to see him fold one of my patterns. It pales in comparison to his other folds, though. check them out!

and in case you’ve stumbled across this from the big bad internet, here’s a link to the instructions for the Spread Hexagon Tessellation at www.origamitessellations.com.

(sorry for the gratuitous plug there, but I figured more info is better than less info…)
