Mytbusters: Folded a piece of paper 8 times Toby Stotter: Folded a piece of paper into the 4th dimension

This Origami has many folds and the finished model looks quite technical but actually there are only a few steps. 1. Fold the diverging pleats. 2. Fold the parallel mountain folds. 3. Fold the diagonal valley folds. 4. Collapse the model. This is a great approach as it simplifies the process and you will see that it is not as technical as you might have thought. Just a bit fiddly. Steps 2 & 3 involve many repetitive folds. All critical folds are shown at least once at regular speed. Use the same method for the folds shown in fast motion. A4 printer paper can give good results but can suffer with wear & tear. Try a light card, 150gsm works well - gives great definition and retains shape. Be lucky people...

One interesting thought is, while we usually consider geometric constructions to be rigidly reinforced by the use of triangles, this demonstrates how they can also be used to create complex three dimensional constructions that have surprising flexibility, yet are constrained to a specific range of motions from a minimal, folded, compressed to an open, expanded form. Research on the opened forms like at 24:05-:10 might result in stable, load-bearing roof designs which could be simply retracted sideways, without loss of strength during the intermediate phases.

Finally someone who goes beyond a boring hyperbolic parabola, awesome video.

You could be pick by who need those experiences. As the future need. Thanks to your video.

FASCINATING🧐AND INTRIGUING ....LOVE IT❣

Man, you speed up in the wrong scenes, it is really hard to see the fold you are making

Thanks for this! I enjoy doing still life photography with miscellaneous objects to create a unique sense of art. I was wanting something just as special to fit as some sort of architectural representation, and saw this knowing this was the one! I had also wanted to do origami so I've been using pieces I've made using YT videos to help along with the process. I'm gonna give this a try for sure~

Good job on solving this by the way. The last bit where it goes against the uniform pleats threw me off when I solved it long ago. (I was not the original creator Of the one in chinaqats video)

You've done us a great service! Thanks for your gift.

Es un esplendido trabajo, bellísimo. Lleva demasiados pasos, pero con el tiempo necesario y la paciencia, espero lograrlo. Gracias por compartir su trabajo.

I can see the effort you put in this video but you sped up so many important scenes, it’s already complicated af and you’ve made the instructions rly unclear. I had to slow it down to x0.25 speed, but still gave up later on as I literally can’t comprehend what you’re doing.

the video is too quick to see what is happening around 10:50. I lost it then. Could you slow down there please?

I tried it and failed 5 times but in the end got it right .... it was that awesome feeling abt achieving the last model..... thanks for the video

Fascinating.

This guy just folded a Pokémon into existence.

everyone writing "fantastic" etc .. but no one saying "I've done it all" FAKES

Thanks for sharing. This is what KZfaq makes great!

Fabulous video! Although it is so long and sometimes it is boring, but good for no voice and having word rolls. I've done it.

I’m trying to do this and then i give up in 2 minutes

So this is the solution to a origami puzzle? Meaning you can learn to recognize certain shapes and to make them and use them flexibly like a modular system? Which books teach me such things?

すごい！美しいです！

Crease pattern?

Really cool thanks

Fascinating stuff! I had to slow the video down, but I did it! I really enjoyed folding it. Very nice how I felt it finding it's way while collapsing. I made it in yellow and it looks a bit like Pikachu! ;-)

Thank you so much, I have always wanted to make it after seeing that video!!!

Hi, i think this is very very beautiful folded... please what kind of paper do you use for this? Not just a white paper i believe?

Came here and stayed for the folding, commenting for the music by Rodriguez 👍

Are the lines on the paper cuts or drawings?

Actually reminds me of a bat

this is so hard to follow, I had to stop at 4.58 mins just couldn't follow at all unfortunately its too sped up for someone who is trying to learn ;(

How I make this pattern on fabric and which types of fabric used to make this pattern

I really liked the pattern but sped up way too much. Slowed it down to .25 speed and still had to keep replaying it.

it was so hard to make!

I know I’m wat late but I tried it it ledger format and it did not work it was because of me or those it has to be specifically A4?

Beautiful amezing magin in your hand,❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️....

Can this be done with a stiff fabric to be a part of a dress?

Does it work if a use an 216cm x 279cm piece of paper?

EXCELENTE!!!!! GRACIAS

Wrong scenes are fast forwarded

This is so interesting! I want to try this with a thin leather or suede. You think that can be done? I've made origami before with clear plastic vinyl and it worked. This seems too complicated though.

What is the size of the paper?

For the first time I didn’t have a breakdown throughout the video and I made it!

It's so beautiful! It looks an embaúba's leaf! My congratulations! :)

the music sped up sounds so funny

amazing but must be patient, i love it

what is the size of paper?

Hey I'm chinaqat [signed in as another avatar] wow it's so cool you're showing how this is done - it only took 25 years for me to find a teacher, thanks!

I thought this origami represenets 8 pieces of 'mathematically' hyperbolic curve, but it was not, was it?

How many folds is this?

I appreciate the effort you put in but you’ve sped up the parts that are tricky, rendering it something between frustrating and unusable.

thank you for the tutorial

Why you speed up???

This is art!

Amazing

What kind of paper do you use? It's magic!

Could you please not speed it up at all? It is very difficult to follow along when you do that.

What's wrong with the audio

Everybody thinks this is easy after seeing this pic... After attempeting a try it's really very very tough 😯😯😟😟.. It took nearly 3 hours to complete.

Can you just be slower at 3:40,it's way too fast,even i turn the speed to 0.25

i literally failed this 30 times and i gotta do this for a school project

can you use letter paper

What’s the actual size of the paper?

why this scares me

why you speed up your video... T_T i cant follow..........

Can someone make a crease pattern

💗🌺💗

Fucking amazing...congrats.

Good origami ; )

voce dobra bem me ajuda a dobrar o tecido espacial

Not enough adds.. Dwnvtd

4:35

way to fast. slow motion please

у него лист А4?

I do it at first try its easy

Ñ

Hermoso ... Aunque no me salió :'D

🤤

This tutorual is really bad and honestly jist dont put music over it if itll be sped up, so many sequences of folds are horribly dificult to follow because of random speed ups aswell. Just post the raw video without music that would be more enjoyable.

fuck me what the hell are these speed ups

zt en plus on ne peut pas l'enregistrer pour mieux oir! c'est moche!! bonjour le partage!

It's too fast!

U can be improved 🙂 😤

Slow on easy steps, fast on hard steps… so fkng annoying.

Beautiful amezing magin in your hand,❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
