That is an attention-grabbing unique tessellation that depends on collapsing hexagons. That’s how the micro rhombus stars are fashioned.
From there I added each triangle and rhombus twists.
It is a semi 3-D fold. It is principally flat, however the connection between the repetitions have a 3-D curve becoming a member of them.
I made a decision to make use of inexperienced paper simply to alter issues up. It is common printer paper in a 32 pleat triangle grid.
I noticed as I used to be within the midst of mapping it out on my triangle gridded paper that it might be a completely flat fold if I had simply mirrored the shapes as every iteration progressed outward.
However at that time, I might already dedicated to the unique thought. So I went with it.
I am partial to totally flattened tessellations.
However there are lots of unbelievable origami tessellations that don’t fold flat.
In some circumstances, like with Joel Cooper’s 3-D masks, they’re a few of the most troublesome and complicated tessellations at the moment on the market.
I am probably not a 3-D thinker. Nevertheless, on this case, it was solely a minor side of the tessellation and it labored out fairly nicely.
I’ll in all probability fold the flat model subsequent. Simply to see if it seems higher.
It is a troublesome tessellation merely due to the small shapes it makes use of. Nevertheless, if you happen to’re skilled with working with them, it should not be too daunting.
My diagram is floating round someplace. Will add it quickly.
