- Wistar 7mo agoThanks. These are waaay better instructions.
- comonoid 7mo ago"Diagrammed by Kenneth Thompson". The name sounds familiar...
- sprinkly-dust 7mo agoDavid Huffman too, made some very complex paper folding models from relatively abstract mathematics, although apparently did not like them being likened to origami.
- noughtnaut 7mo agoI'm having problems interpreting step 23, to arrive at 24. The archived Japanese instruction wants to unfold the paper entirely, and then ... what? I'm stumped.
- 21asdffdsa12 7mo agoIts not foldable from one paper sheet?
- skrebbel 7mo agoOkay?
- IAmBroom 7mo agoOrigami by definition is folded from a single, square sheet.
- skrebbel 7mo agoWhen people write a statement and then tack on a question mark they force people to guess what they mean. Is it a typo? Is it an observation and the question mark is supposed to somehow signal disapproval? Or is it an actual question, with a little grammar error that's not uncommon for non-native English speakers? Maybe this is just me being weird but I simply don't understand why people think a question mark means ", and that's stupid for obvious reasons that I can't be bothered to spell out and therefore I disapprove". Admittedly my reply was even worse so yeah, pot, kettle.

- pavel_lishin 7mo agoSo what did you mean?
- 21asdffdsa12 7mo agoIts not really Origami when its folded from several papers? Its then papercraft or modelbuilding.. Origami is the art of folding it from one sheet.

- saalweachter 7mo agoI used to fold an origami unicorn design by Marc Kirschenbaum. I can't find any instructions on the Modern Internet, but I used to fold it out of gum-wrappers while sitting in class. The unicorn from the film itself wasn't "true" origami, being a prop consisting of several pieces glued together, but it really popularized the idea of an origami unicorn and a number of the current designs were prompted by it.
- lovegrenoble 7mo agoNice
- kittikitti 7mo agoThank you for sharing, I really enjoy origami and look forward to learning this fold.
- ge96 7mo agoInteresting it starts off the same as a crane
- etrvic 7mo agoAs many origami folds do, I believe
- the_af 7mo agoAm I the only one who starts folding an origami design, gets distracted, and somehow ends up with either a crane or a frog?
- IAmBroom 7mo agoI got a rock.
- munificent 7mo agoI always end up with a Frank Gehry building.
- ge96 7mo agoWow those are trippy like a building going through a dimensional rift or something Some you could call a Dr. Seuss house the ones more boxy in appearance than curved
- notorandit 7mo agoWhere is Bladerunner mentioned?
- Aardwolf 7mo agoIt does reference it in links on the 'COMPLETE' page
- notorandit 7mo agoThe linked page has no mentioning of Bladerunner. Not even the next linked 3.
- puttycat 7mo agoI recently picked up an origami book and started practicing in dull moments. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with phone addiction.
- chao- 7mo agoI used to do origami obsessively in my youth, and recently picked it up again while spending time with my nephew. I'll have to give this one a go!
- shevy-java 7mo agoAre we losing old websites like that? I actually was unaware that this warranted a website. When I was young, I had one origami book. I completed it to about 40%; wasn't too bad but was far away from being really good. Origami is quite an art. These days I tend to watch youtube videos more than look at oldschool books but I loved that old handbook. Never folded a unicorn though.
- orkasi 7mo agoI also had a small handbook that was given to me by a big brother figure. I spent so much time with that handbook which was very beaten up, its cover fallen off etc. fun memories. Seeing origami reminds me of that time when I was 5-6 years old
- mbfg 7mo agoNow we need the 1 cut and fold algorithm.
- Obscura- 7mo agoVery Cool

- delichon 7mo agoI just read about the backstory. Gaff (Edward James Olmos) put the unicorn where Deckard would find it as a message. He was gently informing Deckard that he was a replicant. Deckard had just dreamed about the unicorn and told nobody, so the only way Gaff could know is if he knew which dreams Deckard had implanted in his memory. This came from Ridley Scott, not Philip K. Dick. I am impressed that Scott was so subtle about this for so long. It would have been a short-term boost to hit us over the head with it, as in The Sixth Sense. But being coy about it helped to make the movie a true classic.
- y1n0 7mo agoIt wasn't in the theatrical release.
- harrall 7mo agoOnly because the studio made Ridley Scott cut the scene. Ridley Scott definitely thinks Deckard is a replicant and interviews of him show that it was his intent. On the other hand, the book says Deckard is a human. So it depends on whether you prefer Ridley’s version or the original book’s version, but it wasn’t supposed to ambiguous.

- xarope 7mo ago... spoiler... I'm a bit disappointed they couldn't incorporate the horn, but had to glue it on
- enmerk4r 7mo agoOk, this absolutely made my day haha. Big Blade Runner fan :) Thanks for sharing!
