Paper Folding 3D is a wonderful application that helps you create origami designs of multiple animals and objects very easily. The program lets you rotate the images, so you can watch them from all sides and help you create your own one. It also provides detailed information about the object or animal of the model and the flat image for you to save or print it to create your origami.

What is more, you can also save the model as EMF (enhanced metafile) file, so you can create your own texture with other software based on that file. Unfortunately, the trial version only allows you to view the first one or two objects of each category, and that's enough to see if the program works for you.

Also, a big limitation of the trial is that it doesn't show the steps to build the model. The registered version shows you the process step by step in a sort of animation that you can play as many times as you need.

You can also adjust the view angles and play a single step many times. In addition to this, the application features a nice and intuitive user interface that can be used by anyone. In short, Paper Folding 3D is a useful application for origami fans that will help you build wonderful models in just a few minutes and with beautiful textures.

I believe we are missing the point of Pooky's request in that he wants software specifically designed for 3D models. I assume you mean these kind of models? I think your best bet is photodiagrams supplemented with inkscape or a different vector based editing program. If you wish to draw the steps for consistency you can take a photograph and trace it in your program. The tracing photographs works very well for 3D steps in all sorts of models.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a software that can diagram 3D origami (the one that uses the many triangles, and can make swans, pandas, etc. Steal This Sound Ebooking. )? In books, you usually see triangles and upside down triangles, showing the layout of all the pieces to put. It'd be really nice to diagram some of my own 3D.

Especially when you can easily get confused with what is what and where the different layers of paper and such are. Yes, M Deutsch, I am looking for how to diagram that kind of modular origami. There are some scanned diagrams on the internet you can get by googling '3D origami diagrams', to see what 'triangles' I'm talking about in the diagrams. Here is one scan I found from Google (sorry about the big size): [img]You can see how it shows the colour, quantity, and direction of the triangles on each row of the model. Basically, I'm looking for an easy way to diagram something like this.

If anyone has any ideas Newbie Posts: 8 Joined: June 12th, 2010, 11:41 pm. One of the typical problems with diagramming Origami, is representing some of the various shapes in 3D space. CAD programs can do this, but the variety of shapes complicates the process. So, the current diagramming Origami standards require a little experience both to use and to follow. And, of course, CPs require even more experience, and maybe a different type of mental wiring. Having said that, these 3D Origami models are a special case of modular origami, where the unit of design is a triangular piece.

Like Engineer design, as suggested by melba, if you are good with engineering modeling and CAD, you might easily apply those tools to 3D diagrams. I imagine that there are some free CAD modeling tools available, there may even be some XML languages and VRML-like tools that would help. Of course, if you don't know CAD, then don't read this post - Hank Simon Buddha Posts: 1245 Joined: August 12th, 2006, 12:32 am Location: Texas, USA.
