It's supposedly all from one sheet of paper too thats why im interested

The general style is called "architectural kirigami" and nope you won't find templates by Ingrid Siliakus online anywhere. But there are a couple books with simpler patterns.

>>547096
Are you serious how comes and why not? Surely people can work it out right?

If not do you know where I can find the simpler ones?

>>547093
Not one person is interested in this sort of stuff?

Well, Ingrid Siliakus earns her dosh from exhibitions and from selling replica of her works. On top of that her stuff is so detailed and complex that she uses a laser cutter to save weeks or even months of manually cutting and scoring the models. I've never seen templates of her stuff online and she doesn't have any on her website - and I think the complexity of her projects is beyond what average persons would want to try to copy anyways.

But architectural kirigami is pretty simple and straight-forward, once you understand the basic techniques which are the same as for regular popup cards/books you can look at any other model like those from Siliakus and "easily" copy them yourself.

Look for kirigami and "architectural" kirigami patterns on sites like pinterest or just google the terms and you'll find plenty templates. And check the book sharing thread here on /po/, that's where I got a few books from last year.

sO is this thread going to die like the other kirigami threads?

>>547225

>>547164
>>547165
>>547166

God. Tier. Not exactly what OP was asking for but pretty close.

One thing to note about Ingrids work is she turns the main fold on it's side, like a Greeting Card or Birthday Card, this gives the buildings a better look and doesnt leave a gap in teh sides, this is the biggest thing I have observed so far, will come back with more if I work out the intricacies.

>>547242
Yeah, you're right, Ingrid's works tend to have a vertical main fold, like books rather than the "original" cards.

I posted Masahiro Chatani's book because he was the guy who actually invented architectural kirigami / origamic architecture (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origamic_architecture), so naturally Ingrid's stuff is based on the technique and inspired by his works. The links at the bottom of the wikipedia article are worth checking out for some other interesting related stuff.

Of course we searched Google, but most are just pics of completed projects, not detailed templates like the post before you explained. I guess we were hoping for some help from genuine and generous Anons who love to share in the craft.

>>548146
yea but there's no proper templates its like this shit is hidden from public, is it forbiddin art or something?

>>548416
Yeah, I think it's because kirigami is even less mainstream than origami. Theoretically there are plenty books with templates for popup cards somewhere out there, but it's really hard to find scans online - it's even hard to find them in local libraries or book stores because it's not a very popular hobby, at least where I come from.

>>547996
>>547997
>>548000
Check this one, I'm currently making a template :

>>548435

>>547109
That's a lovely model although personally it would be nice if it had some colors to it.

>>548492
Well, those architectural kirigami models usually get a lot of their appeal from backlight and shawows. Adding multiple colors could distract from that. However, I'm currently experimenting with similar models consisting of multiple colored layers and they have an appeal of their own. Gonna post pics once I have something worthy to be looked at hehe.

>>547164
Does anyone have Vol.1 of that series? I've been looking for a while and can't find it.

Any good free programs to design this stuff?
"Free" programs allowed too.

>>549689
I'm only aware of two programs, and sadly none of them is free (they both have free trial versions though):

Popup Card Designer / Popup Card Designer Pro :
http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/craft/popupcard_en/
http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/craft/popupcard-pro_en/

Popup Card Studio :
https://www.popupcardstudio.com/

The free demo versions have restrictions, of course (popup card designer has saving disabled, can't remember studio, maybe I never even tried it). And since the topic is a bit obscure, I wasn't able to find cracks or keys online. And the full versions are a bit too expensive if you ask me. If you manage to find something I'd really appreciate when you leave a heads up in this thread, OP here.

>>549690
However, it's not really hard to design your own patterns on plain graphing paper (or using snap to grid in a free vector program like Inktrace) once you understood the basic workflow - which you can easily learn by playing around with the free versions of those programs. Which is what I do.

>>549690
>>549691
Thanks man, appreciated.
>tfw your program is so unpopular no one will even pirate it

>>549690
>>549691

If you're still around, I found the program here, works fine. It's a spanish site but it's the english version.

Great, thanks a lot.

Hey, I'm looking at a lot of this and wondering if I'm making the right assumption, is the math of this that every line in the XY plane(from one end of the paper to the other) has to be of equal length It seems like it would be relatively simple to make a 3d modeling software to help you make them and to tell you if a design followed that simple rule.

You know, people say that there are no stupid questions, but that was a stupid question. Anyone could see that the first book was a very bad copy. FYI, I'm not on anything. That's why I told everyone to use the second copy instead of the first one. I'm the one who put the better copy in here after realizing that I loaded the bad copy by mistake.

Heavier paper is definitely better. It's not like origami where you will have to fold multiple layers of paper. The entire piece is a single layer and must be stiff enough to hold its shape.
