For some origami models - especially tessellations and box-pleating models - you need to first precrease a square grid. Here are some tips on how to fold them accurately.
+happyfolding.com - enjoy origami online that was so very instructional, I will save it in my folding collection for future reference, usually my grids go all over the place lol I hope after I rewatch this and refold a few grids I get better at it! Thanks a bunch!
wow! this method was so helpful. earlier today I had folded my first flasher big bang in a while, and while it is the best flasher big bang I have ever folded. there are still a couple large deformations in it, and I think they mostly stem from the grid, which was very wonky at times with most of the grid spaces, however, I have already started work on a second flasher. although I have only just finished the grid, is a huge improvement to the previous one, all because I used you're tutorial.
Excellent tips! I have needed to improve my accuracy when folding tessellations, especially making sure that the diagonals split the horizontal intersections precisely. Thank you for the help!!
Thank you Sara for a very helpful video! Some of my tessellations I made were kind of spoilt due to the wrong method of grid creasing but watching this video has fixed that :)
I was working on a Clover Folding model and it came out so warped (Working on 32 by 32 division grid). It’s hard to maintain accuracy with so many folds going in both diagonal and horizontal directions. Wish I’d seen this video earlier lol.
The video explains how - you just need to keep on dividing each section in half. Fold in half paper diagonally and vertically: 2x2, fold in half each column/row: 4x4, fold in half each column/row: 8x8, fold in half each column/row: 16x16, fold in half each column/row: 32x32. Does that help?
First divide the paper into thirds (see e.g. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-07uKsmizwBY.html ), then divide each of the 3rds into 8ths. Hope this helps!
There are multiple methods to get a 42-division square grid. I've used different methods myself, but nowadays I'd probably divide into 16/42, divide that by folding in half, and then continue with the remaining 26/42. For the crease at 16/42 I'd use Robert Lang's ReferenceFinder. If there's no nice sequence, I'd check if finding 32/42 has a nicer sequence and go ahead with that instead.
Your video was fast so I wasn’t able to understand much and your voice is not clear and my volume is not that high so.. yeah I have a fe problems but overall a good video.
