Crazy Origami

[crynts]

Origami, folding paper, something to do to annoy teachers. Whatever you call it, it still looks awesome. This is just a showcase of origami that's on the web.

Wow, a praying mantis eating another praying mantis. It's made from a square with no cutting or gluing! Designed by Mr. Robert J. Lang.

Kraken Attack! One square, no cuts, Brian Chan

This is probaby Satoshi Kamiya's most famous creation. The Ryu-Jin. Btw, everything here is made from one uncut square unless otherwise noted.

Man pouring water. Designed by Hojyo Takashi.

This is Mooser's train. It is folded from a rectangle. The longer the rectangle, the more boxcars.

So? What does everyone think about these?

 

[highfive]

wow. That's really cool. All I know how to do is an origami samurai hat. This blows anything I can make out of the water ten fold. Ain't origami great?

 

[crynts]

Yea, the sad thing is, all of these great models don't have diagrams. If your super smart, you could try and crack their crease patterns.

I love making cranes. Slowly, and not really regularly, I make more and more, cause I plan on getting to 1000 so I can be immortal, or whatever happens at 1000.

These are truly masterpeieces. I really enjoy all of the origami shown here, but the The Ryu-Jin origami that Satoshi Kamiya created is just a piece of ingenious work; I really like the scales, looks very realistic. Unfortuantely, I tryed making very simple origami but then failed.

 

[Lythium]

Amazing! I can't even make a crane...

 

[Airgemini]

Amazing, those things looked like they took hours to make.
I like the one with the lady in the dress.

 

[crynts]

All of those besides the train probably took them > 8 hours to make. The coolest thing that I've ever made looks somewhat like this:

This is the Phoenix 3.5, also designed b Satoshi Kamiya.
Mine just looks a lot little more crumpled.
The only way to fold this is using a crease pattern. Diagrams do exits though they are unofficial, hard to understand, and may be illegal.

I only know how to do a origami shuriken lol. But I need 2 square pieces of paper for that.

 

[Silentprotector]

origami is awsome, i know how to do pokomon origami and i have to learn howe to do Japanese orgami for a project .... sure is going ot be fun XD

 

[TheSundanceKid]

That's so amazing. I love the dragon! I've always wanted to try oragami, but I'm reluctant to because I can barely fold paper. XD

 

[Wuss]

That's pretty darn awesome. The Squid one is sick. I'd love to have that in my room or something.
