Origami in 3D

[Marcin Maćkowiak]

Hello!

Do you have any idea how to make an origami in 3D?
It doesnt have to be done step by step I just need final result.



and video for help how to do it.

Hi Marcin, I remembered I already read this kind of question before. I did a search and found this old post, but unfortunately the pictures aren't available anymore.
Maybe the comments could give you an insight.

Did you try to reproduce the folding as in the real world starting from a flat face and creating the new edges for each new fold you need?

Thanks Micheus for your answer.

I tried to find out something from this thread but it's hard to understand without images and yes i did as you said.

Started with flat plane -> cut -> rotate -> same steps etc...and after several steps some of faces are going through the other one face... and I`m lost at this point becouse it can`t looks like this..


Then I used sweep region and I have got something like this


but after few steps forward you can stuck at one step... anyway it`s realy dificult way to do it.

I have no more ideas.

Hi Marcin, I took a time to test an approach and I got some good result. But due the amount of tries to reach the right way I can't prepare a step by step.
So, I'm sharing the wings file and then you can make the necessary adjusts - if you think it's usable, of course.

The file has a fold with objects in the sequence of the first steps. The image bellow has some intermediary steps. The final steps are basically to "glue" the pieces - the hard work.

I hope it can be useful.

OMG Micheus I am so much grateful! I did some final result yesterday but it isn't so good as yours.



It`s better way to do it by separate cubes as you did.
Thanks again for your help!

Nice you got the idea from that few steps.

If you don't mind, I would like to render it. Is that OK?!

I have no problem with that
