Learn a model

Pick one and fold it step by step. Real folds, real paper (sort of).

PAPER

Fold Simulator

Real crease patterns, folded by physics. Squash, petal, sink, reverse folds: every fold happens on its own, all at once.

Red lines = mountain, blue = valley, black = edge, yellow = flat (Origami Simulator .svg format), or a .fold file. Crease patterns and the physics approach come from Origami Simulator by Amanda Ghassaei (MIT).

3D Model → Paper beta

Give it a 3D model and one square of paper folds and crumples itself around it. Turning any model into clean origami is still a research problem, so this is the experimental version: no cuts, no glue, lots of creases.

Works best with chunky, rounded shapes. Thin bits (legs, antennas) just get covered.
