Hey, /po/. I'm working on designing a map for a D&D world which used to be flat but "the fabric of space" was folded into a ball by a wizard making the present-day round planet. The space between the folds are basically hidden extra-dimensional spaces (because the origin of the globe is not common knowledge), and the folds themselves act as ley-lines.
But my question is: does anyone have a good crease pattern for something like this? I don't want it too complex, but I do want it a bit more intricate than pic related. The players will not necessarily traverse the whole world so a pattern with many localized folds is preferred to something more uniform. And the result doesn't have to be a perfect sphere because ocean water can be used as filler.
Thanks.

i have two suggestions (they seem to be mutually exclusive)
1. low poly sphere/ papercraft sphere/ geometric sphere
>basically crafting a sphere then adding extra layers on the surface just like how a window in a children's book would work.
disadvantages would include
>placing game pieces on board would be hard- you can decide to place magnets on the interior of the sphere but you'd probably need large numbers of weak magnets. Otherwise, you could employ double-sided tape on the bottom of your pieces.

2.flat circle- display-able game board.

>view pic in link.
>make several circular maps and make it somewhat like a book- you can flip the pages to change maps/dimensions whatever.
i ought to make a game like option two. with more thought, it could sell really well.
have fun with your project, man.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't actually need a physical object to place pieces on. My plan is to overlay a crease pattern onto a flat map, then fold it up, then map the remaining surface land using a 2D projection like Mercator or something.
I have considered using a papercraft net for an icosahedron instead of origami.
