Renowned origami artist Robert Lang's beetles, centipedes and dinosaurs are exhibited around the world. In this video, Lang tells Wired how he became an origami master.
I'm sorry to see people write that Lang isn't doing "real" origami just because he's using computers. That's like saying artists don't draw "real" pictures because they use mass-produced paint. Long live technology!
321098aj the computer doesnt make instructions,it makes a crease pattern.that a sheet of paper where all folds are drawn on,so robert only needs to fold in the right order and the right direction(what still is alot of work) his works are just amazing
@nils3881991 Not to mention that only produces the base for the figure he is creating. The base has the basic shape of the animal, and flaps for each appendage, but he must then shape the base into the detailed forms.
Completely fabulous! His talk at TED is enlightening for those fascinated by origami or enthusiasts alike. Really brilliant work. Thank you Robert Lang!
@zogiva Robert lang's models might be challenging but he's not a moron. I agree that john montroll is very skilled, but so is Robert Lang. I don't know if you know this but they both worked together on the book Origami Sea life, so therefore they are both equals
the soundtrack is loud enough that you can't really hear the artist's comments. (also some better lighting would have showcased the pieces much better) lighting and installation are crucial to displaying art!
He have had too much sparetime! ..and now he is making money on this, as his fulltime job? THAT's amazing! ...the horse he had made standing in the background is beautifull...
sort of but its not that easy.the "instructions" you speak of are generally solid lines and you have to figure out wich way they go etc.its not that he doesnt know to design without computer its just that he canm design faster.and the nthing with him doing it on computer, he created it so he had to of had massive knowledge on origami as it was.
I'm sory but this is not artistic at all. This is commercial Origami.I'm very sure that hundrets of years ago there weren't any machines or robots to hep the origami artists as this "artist" is helped.

Loved the book.
Read it as a child.
Used it and it's skills,
To bolster my drafting of engines later in life.
Thanks.
Dr. Lang thank you very much for the amazing origami designs, I wish to learn some of them, thank you and God Bless!

Sir,
i tried treehopper and stuck with step 15-16.
could you please help me as i am your fan and want to follow you ?
Lang is awesome! I own models of the scorpion and the centipede they show.
wow that grasshopper/mantis is awsome
I folded it!
that horse is cool on the shelf behind him
so you're saying you could fold these things if you could print the cp? good one.
Do you know the name of the program he uses?
he wrote it its called Treemaker. langorigami.com/article/treemaker/ its pretty cool
dude those origami must have taken enormous pieces of paper
the soundtrack is loud enough that you can't really hear the artist's comments. (also some better lighting would have showcased the pieces much better)
lighting and installation are crucial to displaying art!
and it's all made from paper... amazing !
Wowzers! Speechless
I love the bird with the flower
He have had too much sparetime!
..and now he is making money on this, as his fulltime job?
THAT's amazing!
...the horse he had made standing in the background is beautifull...
