Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to develop an origami algorithm. I've looked for this on the forum and I've found the work of @Daniel Piker. On this basis I've tried to make my own origami. I've shaped the half of my module, the one which is marked red in the image 1. But I really can't understand how to rotate/mirror/move it  in order to have the whole module. 

Once I will be able to do that I will create a rectangular array so probably the job will be done, as my aim is to reproduce the miura ori fold. (image 1)

I enclose my code, if anyone understand what is wrong with it, this would be very helpful. 

Actually I'm at this point. (image 2). I spent my last few days trying, but I didn't find a solution yet. 

Please help me. I'm getting crazy!

Thank you!

Hi Mabel, do you still intend to make a sphere? If so this is not the pattern you are after, it cannot transform into a sphere. If you bend this (sometimes called chevron tesselation) in one direction, the shape will turn into a hypar (pringle) shape. I could send you a file I made 3 years ago, that uses a single parallelogram to make the pattern, but again, you won't be able to make it spherical. You'll need some other pattern, but I can't tell you which one (because I dont know). I think the pattern used in the video I linked to in your previous discussion could be the one you need. Since origami is not something I know much about I'm afraid I can't help you further.

Did you ever find the solution to this?

Hi, can you like me the patch you used? It would be so much useful for an environmental design exam, thanks!!!! :)))
