This was one of the wierdest things I've had to model.... The entire thing was made from a 2D plane, just as you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

would fold it in real life. At first I figured it would be pretty easy, I just had to follow the instructions in my origami

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

book. I don't think I could have been more wrong... :-P After folding, slicing, and bending points all over the place,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I finally got to a point that looked presentable and I called it done.. It could still use alot of work if I were picky...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again, this was all done "2D" so to speak...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Questions and comments welcome and appreciated. I wish I had more time to work on my modeling, I really enjoy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

doing it but I don't have much time to....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and here is a polymodel of it... I did this afterwards to see if I could make it look any better...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That looks really good, nice work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It almost looks real... Its pretty cool you could do that, since I don't even know how to make one out of paper!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice.

hehe, great idea, gotta be perfect modelling excersise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

looks neat to me, but what do I know :)

Thats an incomplete oragami crane, the top/back of the crane should be a box shape not a pyramid. The wings are also a bit too high up. But you said you weren't so picky so I guess it's excusable, kinda. Apart from that, its pretty neat :)

na theres two types of cranes u can make, one with the box back and one that you can make the wings flap.

hah, orrigomi on the pc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like Korla said, mut be a great workout and practice for modeling :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks nice :D

that owns lol, btw how much time did it toook to make? 3d max right?

Maybe like 2 hours making the thing in real life and then modeling... Modeled in Softimage|XSI.... actually could have taken longer I don't really remember... Froth, the one you speak of is a different one, or that's when you blow into the bottom and it inflates... I have 3 of them I made sitting here on my desk from an instruction book, and that's exactly how it came out in paper....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the comments. :)

Pretty cool :) And it won't bend fold or become mutilated!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would think that would be a pain to do in 3d. Of course...everything seems a pain to do in 3d to me.

Excellent! That's so awesome, and your work for some companies is incredible! If I ever need something cool, I'll come looking for you!

that's definitely cool

i thought it was real when i first saw it, great job!

I think doing a proper light setup for someting like this is almost as hard as modeling it....

doesn't really look like paper, but aside from that its a 9/10... try to make it on a wooden table or sumthin..

Too overdone.... looks fine like this I think. It would take all of 2minutes to slap a wood texture on there, and it would only detract from the model.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks Freesy.
