Rigid Origami Folding Examples with Sverchok

Updated (Aug. 23, 2020)

This rigid origami node was already merged in sverchok's master (Aug. 20, 2020). So you can use the rigid origami node (select modifier change -> rigid origami from sverchok's node editor menu) without loading this as SNLite script node.

When the node was merged, some socket interfaces were changed.

object socket -> verts/edges/faces socket
valleys/mountains and valley/mountain angles -> fold edge indices/angles

Overview

In my previous entry, I wrote about rigid origami folding in Blender, and wrote some scripts to simulate origami folding. But probably it is not easy to find what types of origami can be folded with the script. I'll write about an approach to try some origami foldings and show some examples in this post.

How to use it

I think next approach may be good and interesting to try.

At first, read Chapter. 4 in the original article and see what types of patterns can be folded or not.
Searching for images or origami fold patterns with words like "crease lines origami" or "origami fold patterns".
Find images or documents showing which lines are valleys and mountains
Create the paper in Blender and cut it with patterns you found online.
Try to fold the patterns using the rigid origami folding script.
