Thanks you very much sir. This helped me a lot In my maths project. I'll make sure to mention your channel's name in the acknowledgement and bibliography.
You can do it - easy! Use card from big boxes (Like what supermarkets throw out.). Instead of creasing and folding the pieces of card, cut each panel to the exact shape and then join the pieces together with tape. So no need for glue and gluing tabs.
If you want to raise several mechanisms on one base you could use The Strap explained in Tutorial 29 to generate several gullies each of which could probably hold a couple of shapes. Also the Automatic strip (Tutorial 16) can be used to raise shapes in the middle of a page. For the shapes themselves: a Cube can be made using the Box mechanism (Tuorial 14); a Cylinder and Oval using the Open Topped Shape (Tutorial 18); the Cone using a variation of the Pyramid (Tutorial 21); and a form of Triangle or Prism using the Pointed V-Fold (Tutorial 3).
Hi, I hope you are excellent in health and above all working, I am very excited about the new videos that will rise this 2017, I hope it will be soon !!! ... Greetings.
Cảm ơn chú đã tạo ra những video hướng dẫn làm sách 3D thật hay rất cháu rất ngưỡng mộ chú chú rất mong được chú chia sẻ niềm đam mê Ê của mình mình đến với mọi người yêu thích sách 3D ( Việt Nam
I meant how to add more than one pop up element to a page. do you have any tips on how to use different types of pop up designs to create a more complex image?
Thank you so much for these tutorials. I already own your book but these tuts make everything much clearer. I would really like to learn more about how to make pop-ups with slice forms too. Can you do any recommondations for that, or, even better, are you going to make a tutorial about it?
I'm not sure what you mean by "slice forms" - I am planning to do another series of tutorials a bit later in the summer so it may be possible to do one. I am open to suggestions as to what other aspects of pop-up may be useful for me to explain.
+The Pop-Up Channel. Thank you for your quick response. I am very eager to watch your new tutorials. What I mean by slice forms are pop ups like these: www.google.nl/search?q=wine+glass+pop+up+card&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=nl-nl&client=safari#imgrc=A5Ne4aNakAJvKM%3A
Ok, I see what kind of mechanism you mean. This is quite a tricky one! Keith Finch's book "Paper Engineering for Designers" includes 10 die cut pieces that can be used to make one. David Carter's book "One Red Dot" has a magnificent example on spread 7. Probably the best way to learn is to buy a greetings card that incorporates a "slice form" and take it apart to learn the secrets. I can explain the rudimentary basics here but there are subtleties involved in holding the pieces together that I cant really explain here in simple words. However the basics - In essence these constructions are made by using a Right Angle V=Fold to raise an array of Parallelograms. The Right Angle V-Fold is explained at 3:50 in Tutorial 2. The most simple form of one of these V-Folds lifting a Parallelogram is shown at 2:54 in Tutorial 2. A slightly more complex example of the same V-Fold lifting an array of Parallelograms is shown at 23:15 in Tutorial 1. If you look at the "slice form" from above you will see that it is made with a grid of parallelograms - the pieces forming the grid have regular slots cut into them so that they can interlock. The type of slot used is explained at 10:19 in Tutorial 11. The measuring and cutting of the pieces has to be very precise. The pieces also need to be "locked" so that they don't drift apart - this can be done with strategically positioned wing tab joints (also explained in Tutorial 11.) Sorry, not a total explanation but hopefully some help.
\you can do it. Two of the sides would be formed using a Pointed V-Fold (Tutorial 3), the third side would span the gully and so it would need to have a fold line up the middle of it.
Making curved shapes pop-up is difficult - one way I would approach this is to make a "volcano" type Open-Topped Shape (Tutorial18 at 2.08) then build a six sided pyramid on top of it (Tutorial 21 at 1.17). I'd probably make the "volcano" fairly steep sided and the pyramid fairly low and not steep. You may need to make a couple of experimental models to work out the best lengths and angles. There are other pop-up dome shapes - a good one is in Nick Bantock's "Kubla Khan" - but they are quite difficult to make and impossible to explain without making a whole video.
For these tutorials I use 120 gsm photocopy card.. If your designs are small you could just use paper, if big use sturdier card ( but you will have to score it). look at Tutorial 1.
You can see it at 1.39. The two tabs that attach it to the base are both parallel with the spine. Pyramids have four creases (at the corners) the cone only has two, these have to be above the spine.
I'm not sure exactly what shape you mean by "prism". We already have a list of complex mechanisms that we want to explain when we make the next series of videos in the new year - so I doubt if I can show it, but if you can explain the shape I may be able to write a written description of how to make it.
Maybe start with a Pyramid (Tutorial21) and then try building onto it or adapting it using the techniques explained in Tutorials 22 and 8. Really though you'll need to play with different shapes and experiment.
Making a cone is almost the same as making a pyramid. You can see one at 1.35. Follow the same method as for making a pyramid, this starts at 2.32. The difference is that cones only have two fold lines above the page, not four like the pyramid. So having drawn your semi-circle don't score line two (3.54) or line four (4.04). Also don't straighten off the bottom (4.40). Apart from that it's the same as pyramids.
+adrian totoo Watch tutorial 1 - Then watch all of this tutorial (21)l carefully - there is a demonstration of how to make this one about a third of the way in...
+David E. Romero Estoy bastante ocupado de momento pero espero poder crear otros videos en el futuro. Hay más contenido avanzado en mi libro - 'Pop-up Design and Paper Mechanics' y hay una versión en francés también.
Hi! In my humble opinion the language is absolutely clear. The tutor uses the same instruction vocabulary , so even if you do no know English well, you may understand everything. Moreover, the tutor shows everything!
