Its not foldable from one paper sheet?

  Okay?

    Origami by definition is folded from a single, square sheet.

      When 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.

        So what did you mean?
        • 21asdffdsa12 8mo ago
          Its not really Origami when its folded from several papers? Its then papercraft or modelbuilding.. Origami is the art of folding it from one sheet.

        Are you autistic?
        • skrebbel 8mo ago
          I don't understand why you were downvoted, it's a fair question given the context. I don't think I'm autistic, or if I am, it's only slightly. Clearly in this here case my reactions resemble those of someone with autism, and in hindsight I recognize that. So I'll take your question as constructive feedback and try to be less dismissive in the future.

        Its just dev-brain, everyone shares my context telepathically. :D

  Correct… they “cheated” a little to make the props for the movie. There are other designs for single-sheet unicorn, winged unicorn, and Pegasus — particularly the ones from John Montroll — but they look a bit different from the movie props, and are harder to fold. https://johnmontroll.com/books/dragons-and-other-fantastic-creatures-in-origami/ https://johnmontroll.com/books/dragons-and-other-fantastic-c...

    Wow, those look fantastic! I love Blade Runner (I'm obsessed with it), but the unicorn origami never clicked with me. These ones look much better.

      And then you have the works of Satoshi Kamyia which is on an even higher level https://origami.ilyazadornov.com/origami/2021/unicorn-satoshi-kamiya/ https://origami.ilyazadornov.com/origami/2021/unicorn-satosh...

        Wow, impressive! Though I don't dig that "crumpled" style as much, maybe a bit of it but not this much.

      Its so alive. The whole world. So rundown. So real, so breathing. It inspired so much stuff in the things i create. Less heroic stuff, more how would the people of a future world eat, sleep, crave6&rave&bebrave, repeat
