  • For all those who like a challenge! This is an extremely complicated model to assemble so do pay careful attention to the still pictures when they come up. This would take aproximetely 2 hours to complete, but it looks fantastic at the end. Good luck! Tell me if you have any trouble or want any tips and I'll try and help out.

    Hey, nice vid! I did one before too. Actually have the book. To aid construction, quote the author "There is strong symmetry in the structure. Any 2 tetrahedra are interwoven with one corner poking through a hole in the other and vice versa, like a 3D Star of David, but slighly twisted." Cheers!!

    That is an amazing origami model. I haven't done origami in a while, but this vid is tempting me to go back into it just to make one of these for myself!!

    Hey extremeorigami,
    I've made a few of these :)
    Found it's the most difficult when made out of checked origami paper... with all the tetrahedra the same pattern... You are right though it is a great piece and your video is top class :) I've posted it on facebook as a challenge to all my friends!

    Brilliant Origami. Brilliant Vid. Don't listen to the haters. You've got a skill some people would love to have (me and my mum). If the haters don't like it why watch it.

    AMAZING! Thank you so much for making this video... I couldn't figure this out with any other tutorial I watched or read, but after a few failed attempts using your vid, I finally got it!

  • @Preytor13
    @Preytor13 14 лет назад

    it's 5 intersecting tetrahedra
    if you look at the finished product, the vertices will make 12 5-sided faces
    if you connected each of these 5 vertices, they would make a pentagon. If you did this for all vertices, you would have a dodecahedron
    this makes sense because a dodecahedron has 20 vertices, and a tetrahedron has 4, and there are 5 in this model

    Nice job on this :) I've made dozens of these and even now I can get stuck occasionally. I really should get a knife for cutting paper though, I'm still folding one sharp crease and ripping! I'm getting damn good at it though haha.
    Hope to see more from ya.

  • @extremeorigami
    @extremeorigami  17 лет назад

    try holding the flap behind open as you slot the piece in, then folding it over again to seal it.

  • @extremeorigami
    @extremeorigami  17 лет назад

    It doesn't matter how big the pieces of paper are. I've made one of these models that fit into the palm of my hand before. However, it gets more tricky to assemble it the smaller it is.

  • @extremeorigami
    @extremeorigami  17 лет назад

    It doesn't really matter how big the squares are. However, it makes it easier to to assemble if you have bigger rather than smaller squares. I use 15cm by 15cm.

  • @LiquidShorts
    @LiquidShorts 16 лет назад

    I don't know if I'd classify that as kirigami.
    Sure he cuts the paper, but just to specific sizes to not waste paper, not to "cheat" on anything.

  • @extremeorigami
    @extremeorigami  17 лет назад

    Of course! :) It is easy for those who are used to doing origami, but for beginners, it is very complicated. When I put this up I made the assumption that it would be mostly beginners who would stumble across this video, not necessarily origamists.

  • @yoyoyomyman1
    @yoyoyomyman1 16 лет назад

    This is a very nice model, so far, im at where you put the third shape in. But sometimes when your building it, your hand and the camera goes off the screen and I couldn't see what was going on. I was just relying on the final picture of each step. I dont think I can get all the way to the end though.

  • @DramaDude93
    @DramaDude93 16 лет назад

    it's just an x-acto knife. You could also just use scissors or just rip the paper. However, the best guaranteed result is the x-acto knife.

  • @lorenyork
    @lorenyork 14 лет назад

    Nice Tutorial, but try to keep it on camera! even if you have to zoom out slightly... just a tip. It's difficult to see what you're doing in the last 1/3 of the video because you half disappear off the screen... and especially when you're threading one module through others :p
    3/5 for this tute. 4.5/5 for the finished product :)

  • @Radjehuty
    @Radjehuty 15 лет назад

    It must be in the aspect ratio of 1:3. This is because it is mathematically possible to physically weave 5 tetrahedrons together if the "Struts" are 1 by 6 (since the 1:3 rectangles are folded in to a 1:6)

  • @WaterFor3st
    @WaterFor3st 16 лет назад

    So far, I've only did two tetrehedra, with the yellow and green. I dont know how to get them to try, like I have to keeppushing them together. I can't explain, yours is so perfect lol.

  • @pietkus
    @pietkus 16 лет назад

    thanks for video, I've already started doing my own star :)

  • @Radjehuty
    @Radjehuty 15 лет назад

    It's because the corners must bend around each corner to lock it in place.
    For the last strut, you have to push one of the struts with the slot flat (carefully) so that the pocket is open. Then you put then other strut with the flap in side. You need to press all three struts together at once to make sure it gets in to the pocket all the way. Then crease it softly to lock it in place.
    It does take practice, but it's not terribly difficult
    Good luck!!

  • @extremeorigami

    No, I live next door (UK) :) I just saw on your page that you were Norwegian. Thanks for your comments! I hope that you manage to find some paper ok.

  • @extremeorigami
    @extremeorigami  17 лет назад

    I used 15cm by 15cm I think. It doesn't really matter what you size paper you use but you will find it easier to start with bigger squares. I've made one that could fit in the palm of my hand before - it was hard!

  • @extremeorigami
    @extremeorigami  17 лет назад

    Thanks! :) Yeah, once made a small one (that could fit in my hand) with just the colour blue before. That was quite difficult too!

  • @extremeorigami
    @extremeorigami  17 лет назад

    you need 30 pieces of paper to the ratio of 1:3. They are made using 10 square sheets, 2 pieces per colour

    Sorry I went out of the camera view then. If you keep watching I repeat that same stage on the other side of the piece of paper.

  • @robinrae67
    @robinrae67 15 лет назад

    This is great, but often your hands go out of the shot and I can't see what you're doing. I noticed this especially when you're showing how to form the ends of the paper strips and then later as you show how the tetrahedra go together. Your hands are out of the shot and we're left looking mostly at mat.

  • @HeroofTime55

    Interesting geometry. At first I thought it was just a rotation of a tetrahedron about an external fixed point, but then I noticed the dodecahedron structure. Odd.

    I going to try making this and will be using 15cm squared origami paper to make it.
    I believe the pieces are known as Francis Ow's 60 degree units, but is there a 108 degree unit to make a dodecahedron?. Also how big would it need to be?
    After I have made the star I would like to build a big enough dodecahedron in which to place the star so each point of the star is touching a vertex of the dodecahedron.

    Those rules only apply once you start folding. How do you think paper get'ssquare in the first place? It's cut somewhere...
