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?
>>547093
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?
>>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.
This is probably too big to post...
>>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.
This template makes a nice pen holder. Can't find the version without watermarks though.
This is a model I always wanted to copy...
>>547106
basically im looking for something similar to ingrid siliakus' city, i just need a template so i can work out the rest
>>547109
WHAT THE FUCK?! Just from cutting one sheet of paper?
>>547137
>>547149
Yeah, it's pretty simple. You've seen nothing yet, do you know Peter Callesen?
>>547158
>>547159
>>547160
>>547161
>>547136
This book here has a few templates which have a somewhat similar style (nested buildings, bridges).
>>547164
>>547165
Well, that's what I have. Some other books are too big to post here
>>547109
>>547137
>>547149
>>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.
I knew I had a better version of the pencil holder... And a few more incoming...
>>547189
>>547190
this variation is nicer
>>547192
>>547194
Ive seen origami before but this stuff is blowing my fucking mind, the detail and brains to make that using one piece of paper!
>>547197
Maybe it's because it isn't origami, but kirigami
sO is this thread going to die like the other kirigami threads?
>>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
>>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.
cut the other day, found the design somewhere online and copied it
>>547313
without backlight (looks a bit more boring)
>>547314
>>547313
Looks cool anon
>>547108
First attempt
>>547320
>>547164
I tried one from this book, the Escher stairs. Kinda funny because Escher lived in my village
thanks for all the templates! i have a laser cutter :)
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!
>>547320
>>547321
Nicely done. Here's another cool Escher template.
>>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.
Wow, the designs in this thread are incredible. First time I've ever heard of 切り紙.
I made some stuff like this a while ago, even designed a pattern once, lost it tho
Does anyone have any Christmas Kirigami they would like to post? Tis the season, and I would be much obliged!
>>547996
I was referring to Christmas related templates...
>>548000
Are you all banned from google?
Here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=diagram+christmas+card+kirigami
For an extra bonus, click on the tab where it says 'Images' (or whatever it's called in your local google language).
>>548146
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.
>>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.
>>550000
Awesome, thanks a lot!
>>550048
nice
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.
