What it does
This app allows you to simulate how any origami crease pattern will fold. It may look a little different from what you typically think of as "origami" - rather than folding paper in a set of sequential steps, this simulation attempts to fold every crease simultaneously.

ORIGAMI SIMULATOR This app allows you to simulate how any origami crease pattern will fold. It may look a little different from what you typically think of as "origami" - rather than folding paper in a set of sequential steps, this simulation attempts to fold every crease simultaneously. It does this by iteratively solving for small displacements in the geometry of an initially flat sheet due to forces exerted by creases. You can read more about it in our paper: This app also uses the methods described in Simple Simulation of Curved Folds Based on Ruling-aware Triangulation to import curved crease patterns and pre-process them in a way that realistically simulates the bending between the…from origamisimulator.org

FoldMation – Interactive origami learning and creation2024 · foldmation.com · ▲87Hi, I've created an application where you can follow step by step origami fold instructions, and a Creator where you can make these interactive folds. On comparing to video instructions, you have the ability to quickly skip/rewind steps and replay a complicated step many times. On the creation side, there have been one or two attempts at this before, but those solutions rely on mouse drags as the user interface. This greatly limited the kinds of folds possible. The foldMation Creator uses commands, keywords and values to compose a domain specific language/step and provides a…
