Hi Ante, looks really great. Congratulation! Did you achieve this without custom components or scripting? Can you explain a bit more how you definition works? Greetings from Munich, Wieland
Hi Wieland, the spatial definition of the origami pattern is based on a rhino element which constitutes the basic hull definition. It is one spiralling face from which a uv-grid is developed as needed in element density. From this grid I grab the uv-points and start re-arranging the initial sequence and tree data structure of given point lists as needed for developing series of 3-point-faces. The depth of the folding is constrained by the curvature of the given rhino definition and the density of the ditributed elements. More elements meaning lessening the depth of folding. If it were a classical flat square then it would just show a flat pattern which would only then develop its spatial qualities when bending the square with rhino operations. So, the rhino base definition also defines differentiation of elements. Constant curvature means same element dimensions. Every change of curvature results in different element dimensions. The hull is created manually, the folding pattern is scripted as can be seen above. Hope this helps your questions. Greetings from Frankfurt, Ante
Hi Ante! Looks great! I'm trying to reach the yoshimura pattern developwd into a semi-arc-system. Could you send me a bigger image of the grasshopper definition? I can't read this one is too small.
Hi ante, the result is amazing, I would really love to study this definition, can you please post a better resolution image? or can you send me the jpg of it? carlo28.richi@gmail.com From what input geometry do you start? I'm wondering if the twisting we can see in the final rendering is due to the definition shown above or it's an added feature
Hi there... I have appended an updated version of the script above which uses Lunchbox and can recognize partially closed surfaces to avoid seams in the folds... The folds only appear if the breps have curvature (see older comments below)... have fun

Can you Share the definition ?
