    This is fascinating! The thought process to transform 3D characters and environments into 2D forms and then making them unfold into 3D space and then move is just mind-blowing. Watching the AT-ST walk is so cool!

      It will certainly make me take a closer look next time I’m in Barnes and Nobles or wherever and I see all the kids pop ups (or adults for books like this!) on the shelves. How do they possibly make 10,000 copies and get all the folds right, etc...?

    i used to making these kind of pop up art and paper craft back in my intern time at university, and i'm not try to brag or smug but i'm quiet good at it.
    i completely understand what matt talking about in this video when he talk about making mock up, engineering, problem solving, coloring etc etc
    i don't know why i don't make a living out of it and take it more seriously but this video definitely bring so much memory and one of my regret not to pursuit it more
    but this video definitely itching me to try make a pop up again or at least as a hobby

    I used to love pop up books as a child. Especially the ones where they used premium... ultra premium materials like cardboard pages with special plastic images that change position when moved. Like hologram. Jack and the Beanstalk in the 80's (choice publications) was the best book ever with the characters all clay and set, images captured for the pages, and the pages with moving plastic images like hologram and being a pop up. It was the best I've seen yet. I always liked pop up books too with levers and triggers that would add to the pages being interactive.

    @bran339 4 года назад +1

    As an origami artist, Kirigami enthusiast, and programmer, I’ve spent a fair amount of time considering how Kirigami-style pop-up structures could be generated using a program. It certainly should be possible, though extremely challenging. The main issue isn’t in working around paper thicknesses and frictions, so much as the actual designing part. Taking a 3d model and turning it into a bunch of moving 2d parts can be fairly simple, but choosing the most effective collection of parts and their associated mechanics, is very challenging. Plus the manner in which the parts converge/diverge often comes down to artistic decisions. Some mechanisms might be more effective, but don’t operate with the same degree of finesse as a more tailored set of mechanisms. Also the difficulty of assembly is crucial if the design is to be duplicated many times over. You don’t want the design to include too many individual components, all requiring tedious gluing/connecting (most of which would need to be done by hand).
    At any rate, really cool book. Extremely impressive.

    So exciting! I am a huge fan of Ib Pennick, who designed the original Random House Star Wars Pop-up book. The first time I saw the X-Wing unfold from the middle of the book and float about the centerfold, I became fixated on paper engineering. Pennick also held several patents related to Pop-Up book contruction.

    He has a couple of tabs to pull, they make several things happen.
    Sure, in many ways it would be easier to have more pull tabs, one for each things that moves.
    But i am willing to bet that having 10 pull tabs, each doing one thing is by far not as great as having 3 pull tabs doing just as many things, because you probably saw it would do one thing, but not the other 2-3 things, so you do it again, several times, and then also go look how it works. And the easy way, the mechanics are almost always easier, and do only one thing, so there is less surprise and, well, awe, of what it does. Having more pull tabes also slightly takes away from the look of the whole thing, it starts to look more mechanical, where with less, more is hidden.
    It may seem simple, open pages, pops up, have pull tabs, but, this is so complicated and so much times goes into this.
    You also don;t really come up with a load of mechanics and try to fit something into it, no, you make up what you want to happen or what you want it to look like, and go make it happen, or try to, ad nausium often. But when it works and is done, it is an accomplishment.
    In many ways, adding the right textures and actually making the book is 'ALMOST' just dotting i's and crossing t's.

    Theirs a rumor for ghostbuster fans the previous movies for some was a hit n miss. I agree.why go from one and two then three should have in my opinion had slimer he’s iconic even though ray was a cabbie and to honor Harold I think a cgi of a scientist dan should have done a bigger role of teaching the new ghostbusters bill i was glad he was in it. They and their characters made the movie. Least Janine ‘it’s what could remember how to spell her character doing her bit role aggravated. Rick was in two and one the dog bit or the painting of Viggo was left out. Studying the slime they made lady liberty walk theirs lots of things I feel should have made it into the movie and made it better the proton packs yes got revamped because of a new movie but the iconic look 👀 looks and keeps the the nostalgia. Ecto should have been in this last one. Not the original but. Slimer in the dining hall. But bill could play a door man ecto should be covered in dust dirt weaver a librarian with a haunted library 📚 bigger budget better ideas as a next chapter of one and two combined titanic if not the same actors.
