This fits here in general discussion right?

Anyone here do any papercrafting every once in a while? Or know what it is?

For anyone who doesn't know, papercrafting is an art I guess you'd call it, where you print designs onto card stock (thick paper) and you score, fold, cut, and glue the pieces together for a 3 dimensional design. Simple enough for short, small pieces, but it gets really detailed and complex as you find bigger designs.

There's also the papercrafting where you create the designs that people print out.

I can only the printing and designing of a finished model, as I don't know how to create use 3-D software.

This is a small one I did. There's bigger ones in my gallery.

I do paper airplanes. Once I made one that looked like a Pelican from Halo.

Whoa, your work is too cool Magedark. I love that Charmander!

 

[Magedark]

It's not that well as most people I have seen haha. Charmander was really easy...Until I had to close it at the feet. My favorite build was my Haunter though. Although, this one I haven't posted yet is looking to take that spot soon.

My wife writes children's books, and her publisher employs "paper engineer" whose job it is to design the complex paper mechanisms used in pop-up books. She has a reference book for paper engineers you might find interesting:

I refuse to have anything to do with that decrepit cult.

wow awesome! I love the haunter! My boyfriend does papercraft of WoW non combat pets, I don't have any photos though

I can ask him if he has a few.

I gather this is rather not like Origami...

 

[Magedark]

Not really. Only the folding paper is probably the same aspect. It's called kirigami, which I think means cutting crafts. I could be wrong.

And card stock is way thicker than origami anyways.
