A crease pattern (commonly referred to as a CP) [1] is an origami diagram that consists of all or most of the creases in the final model, rendered into one image. This is useful for diagramming complex and super-complex models, where the model is often not simple enough to diagram efficiently.
The origami crane diagram, using the Yoshizawa–Randlett system. The Yoshizawa–Randlett system is a diagramming system used to describe the folds of origami models. Many origami books begin with a description of basic origami techniques which are used to construct the models.
Satoshi Kamiya (神谷 哲史, Kamiya Satoshi, born June 6, 1981 in Nagoya, Japan) is a Japanese origami artist. Kamiya began folding at age two. Kamiya began designing origami models in 1995, and has since published hundreds of creations. [1] Kamiya has drawn inspiration for his designs from manga, nature, and both eastern and western mythologies.
Samuel L Randlett (January 11, 1930 – July 2023) was an American origami artist who helped develop the modern system for diagramming origami folds. Together with Robert Harbin he developed the notation introduced by Akira Yoshizawa to form what is now called the Yoshizawa-Randlett system (sometimes known as Yoshizawa-Randlett-Harbin system). [1]
He has made more than a hundred origami models, from simple lion masks to complex modular origami, such as a small stellated dodecahedron. He does not specialize in what is known as "super complex origami", but rather he likes making simple, elegant animals, and modular designs such as polyhedra , as well as exploring the mathematics and ...
In 1954, his first monograph, Atarashii Origami Geijutsu (New Origami Art) was published. In this work, he established the Yoshizawa–Randlett system of notation for origami folds (a system of symbols, arrows and diagrams [3]), which has become the standard for most paperfolders. The publishing of this book helped Yoshizawa out of his poverty.
Robert James Lang (born May 4, 1961) [citation needed] is an American physicist who is also one of the foremost origami artists and theorists in the world. He is known for his complex and elegant designs, most notably of insects and animals.
Circle packing has become an essential tool in origami design, as each appendage on an origami figure requires a circle of paper. [12] Robert J. Lang has used the mathematics of circle packing to develop computer programs that aid in the design of complex origami figures.
