I've looked everywhere and can't find anything the artist is called Ingrid Siliakus she does some cool stuff but wondering if she had any templates or does she keep this stuff secret?
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.
>>547097 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.
>>547105 I'll try to post some of the stuff I've got on my hdd, but it's not much. Most books are too big to post on 4chan (I'm surprised the 5+MB file even worked, what's the limit for pdf here?), but I got all of them from an google archive somebody posted in the sharing thread and from public torrent sites like kickass by searching for origami and kirigami anyways, so they should be easy to find.
>>547167 Clean version. I was too lazy to distinguish between mountain and valley folds because it's obvious which is which. The book suggests to score mountain and valley on different sides of the paper for best results though.
>>547225 probably, everyone just making weeb stuff with paper than any of this magic, i find this more beautiful desu and a lot more complex im trying to designa tetris kirigami right now, a lot harder than it looks
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.
This is great stuff! Thank you all for your posts. I had two books that show how to create simple pop-ups such as letters and simple structure templates. I can no longer find them but wanted to introduce my kids to the craft. This will get us started. I just wanted to say thank you!
>>547331 Picture of the finished model, don't have an own version right now.
>>547326 I envy you, wish I could afford one. I got a Silhouette Portrait vinyl cutter the other day, but had to realize that it doesn't work too well with thick cardstock. So now I'm saving up for a laser cutter as next step.
>>547330 Glad you find the stuff useful, and have fun with it.
>>547996 >>547997 Seconding this. I've seen lots of nice stuff on pinterest, but most of the time those fags only post finished pictures, not the templates.
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.
>>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.
>>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.
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.
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.
>>559567 >>559568 Then why not try the other book that says it's of better quality than this one. In this one >>559560 everything is right. Learn to read and check things out before you start bitching about something.
>>559582 >wtf are you on? I'm just asking a question. 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.
>>559584 I thought initially that you were supposed to print it on a double-sided piece of paper, but couldn't wrap my head around it, and I was still reading it without going through all the thread. You sound very butthurt for some reason, chill out
>>547165 I attempted the kirigami on the cover. Holy shit is this difficult to make cleanly. Pictured is the prototype, made from regular printer paper. I'll finish the version with proper cardstock tomorrow.
>>548146 >Are you all banned from google? >lmgtfy fuck people like you. if we wanted to sit alone and google stuff on our own we wouldn't be on 4chan trying to interact with other humans. fuck off.
Nice to see this thread is still alive and well! (Posted a bunch of the PDFs when the thread was fresh, now I come back after almost 3 years and another anon posted books I don't have last year - gotta love the slowness of /po/!)
>>547511 oh shit, i'm sorry sorry 4 wut? our daddy taught us not to be ashamed of our dicks, specially since they got good size n' all yeah, i see that, your daddy gave you a good advice it gets bigger when i pull on mmmmmm sumetimes, i pull it so hard, I RIP THE SKIN oh well my daddy taught me a few things too, like how not to rip the skin, by using somebody elses mouth will you show me? i'd be right happy to >steve procedes to suck hillbilly's cock and give him his arsehole
I designed and built a kirigami scale model of Mt. Ranier as a gift recently. It turned out okay, as you can see. I'm not entirely satisfied with the result though. I'm going to redo it in white paper, with some extra length in the supports to account for slop in the folds.
>>583173 Here is the template. This was pretty easy to make using a topo map of the mountain and Inkscape to convert the lines to paths. I had to take some liberties while cutting it out because some sections were so thin.
>>584361 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.

Hey I’m an origami guy just getting into this to amen some cards for teachers. Is it necessary to use a light box, or do you have alternate ways of stenciling? Thanks.
Does somebody have this template? I had it but sadly the external hard drive in which I had it stored got broken,I'm only got left with this picture,and some cut outs that I've re-scanned without success
I tried the things in here with regular printer paper (a little bit on the heavier side) but the end results sucks because the paper just hangs like grandpa balls.
>>605341 Nah It's just a woman not drawn like a pinup from the time, and since she's not white they didn't want to add what was seen as beautiful feminity back then so It's not as clear to the people of today I guess, hope that helped
>>614596 "No It's just a woman that is not drawn like a pinup from the time, since she is not white they did not want to add what was seen as beautiful or feminine either back then so It is not as clear to the people of today who are accustomed to cartoonish depictions of feminity that exagerate those traits I suppose, hoping that helped"
>>619427 I was living in a college town house dropping acid and working at an arts and crafts store when this thread was posted. now I’m a digital designer lol
>>627468 The Kartana thread didn't though (over 8 years old and barely halfway through the bump limit, it had a whole life ahead of it), and we didn't even get to see the paper clock get archived like normal after so long (it was ONE thread away from being bumped off the catalog). RIP to both.
>>627479 Wait what the fuck???????? Nevermind, they aren't gone, they just changed their thread numbers for some reason. I had the original ones open and they were both in the 5XXXXXs but now they're in the 6XXXXXs as if they were recent threads. What gives?
I know I should get some coarser paper but my dumbass didn't even know you were suppose to assemble it on the blank side not the mark side on my last built. When I get off uni I wanna go and try to design one it can't be that hard to make a simple castle or house.
>>628053 we used to do that shit in the 90s, but it came pre colored/graphic'ed, man the 90s was so much better than today...paint huffing retarded broccli hair zoomers abound
