FAQs about origami

Where do I begin with origami and how can I find easy models?

Try browsing the board for guides, or other online resources listed below, for models you like and practice folding them.

A great way to begin at origami is to participate in the Let’s Fold Together threads >>>/po/lft - open up the PDF file and find a model you like, work on it, and discuss or post results.

im sure some chinks did generations ago. make them proud.

Wanted to do my part in stopping this site dying out for good, starting to get some hype or more action at least on the site by promoting more actual papercraft trades & shares, maybe?
Been on the site since forever mostly just lurking, but now I would like to actively encourage people to maybe engage more and start posting papercraft-related stuff back, so it’s not just origami on here – since it’s really sad to see.
I know there is a controversy of premium files being shared on here, so I would start with people posting links and sharing files of released stuff only. You can also post templates that have been deleted from sites or you are looking for, so we can share the old ones back as well. Generally, just post papercraft-related posts and trying to get the sharing mentality back, I guess. Call me an optimist, but I am sure it’s still possible :)
And for anybody still not willing to share them openly, I also do trades with the rarer premium stuff and newer files, so anybody interested in trading Tao-Bao files etc. you can contact me here:
GoddessAmaterasu13 @ protonmail. com
Sooo, any files people are generally looking for and would like them to be re-shared? I am sure I can post some of them on here, especially the old deleted ones that aren’t posted anywhere. Just reply and let’s get this thing going!

Admin, spam, please delete.

I made this thread in the hopes to actually promote trades and sharing, and not silly people trying to outdo others with idiotic posts and trolls that do not benefit the cause.

Please refrain from posting these things and actually start sharing or proactively do things to make the community better. Thank you.

What a turdbag. Again, alphabetically-challenged-anon, I was asking about the other Love life scans if you buy them, not the Ano hana I already have, and offering to trade my pristine PDF-PC-files of them to trade to you for anything other bought-like. LEARN TO READ XDDD Tacos and English, guess you can't help it

Apart from that, you actually replied 3 times on 1 post reply of mine, which is a dead giveaway for you being an entitled child pansy that got hurt in their witulu fewungss that it hurts so much you had to reply 3-times XDDDD complete loser. Game, set, match.

Not that anon but, "papercraft without inner support" is a confusing phrase when paper glued to underlying support flaps typifies the artform.

Watch this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgErv6M19yY

Basically the only unconventional thing about it is the underlayer is a separate piece from the surface layer instead of being flaps on the surface layer, as that would be impossible. It's still very much a hollow shell of paper and constructed with folds. I don't see why it would offend the sensibilities of papercraft or something, which uses separate sheets of paper all the time.
>>
>>605249 if you glue the paper to a ball it will look like a ball

No, if you would glue the example from >>605212
to a ball it would not look like a ball at all.
It would look like some segmented strips glued to a sphere with all kinds of open spaces between them.
The globe example does look like a globe because its segments are shaped specifically with perfectly curved edges that fit together so it does look like a ball. It's basically inifinitely-poly compared to the low-poly example which will never look like a perfect sphere because it's not designed to be.
>>
>>605249
Also, the inner ball is just how the example of the globe is made, you could do without it, basically glueing on the edges of the paper (but that would not end up in a very strong desk globe) or like I said, cheating with the bottom of the glueing flaps making them curved matching the curved edges of the segments using the flexibility of paper instead of straight. It's just making it more difficult.
>>
>>605251
To be honest that one is press formed, using heat. The principle of the "pinwheel" shape is the same though, but >>605245 is a handmade version like you and I would pute a papercraft together (assuming you don't have a press form either)

In remembrance of the last paper planes thread, which just so happened to be one of the oldest boards on 4chan that passed away quite recently, this thread will serve as its successor. Hopefully this thread won't be prematurely bumped into oblivion like the last one did.

Anyways, this thread could serve as a sort of "Paper Planes General". Feel free to post your designs, .pdf files, and folding instructions. Anything goes as long as it flies or at least looks like its supposed to.

I don't think anyone even knows about it, but I'll try: does anyone have the book Paper Pilot: The Paper Airplane Pilot's Manual? I have the physical copy but I'm missing the spitfire. If anyone is interested I can scan some, just ask. Such a cool book: cool airplanes that fly well so long as you add ballast correctly (takes a bit of knowledge that I've lost I think). Thanks in advance for reading this
