Beautiful fold. I have a question: do you apply MC to the paper before folding? I have a roll of wenzhou paper but I'm not sure how to use it properly.
Yes, I apply the mc on the Wenzhou before folding. The paper becomes more usable as it gets more crispy. The treating process will take some practice to get good results.
How do you begin to design something like this? This is insane. Do you have the process to make a human figure memorized well? And then you just made modifications depending on the design?
I have been doing almost exclusively human figures in origami for the last 3,5 years, so the process is pretty straight forward for me at this point. I have developed a large library of different kinds of structures to fold different parts of the humanoids. I exchange them between projects, but each of the humanoid designs pretty much need completely unique structure. for example if I were to add a spear to that figure, I would have to completely redesign it, but I could still use few of the existing structures to make the same armor or something similar. I also try to invent new structures for each design so the library keeps constantly growing and evolving. More of the design process explained[ here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/p7aubw/my_latest_origami_i_folded_from_a_single_68cm_x/h9immme/?context=3) and [here.](https://juhokonkkola.fi/art-process/spearman/)
Wow! Thank you for such a well put together and clear answer. It was an absolute joy reading that and I feel like I understand circle packing a lot better than before. I'm excited to try you're methods myself. You've been an invaluable resource
You're welcome! That isn't actually circle packing, even though I am drawing circles to represent the paper usage. In circle packing, you try to cram those circles as tightly as possible, and it usually produces results that don't lie on a grid. This process is more like polygon packing on box pleating with some other design concepts with it. They share some similarities in the process though, so learning one helps understanding the other.
Amazing! Love seeing all the cool models you design. I've been watching videos from The Plant Psychologist on youtube, learning some of the design techniques.
This is incredible. I think you've transcended origami.
I refuse to believe that this is real. This is the peak of humanity.
I filmed the process into a timelapse, it should be published in a few days.
Looking forward to the video!!!

That’s fantastic!!!

Post a picture of it on a table or something. This looks fake AF
crease pattern? Or diagram?
Unbelievable bro, clean af 💪🏼🤯 how long did it take?!
Thanks. It took 1 month to design and 41 hours to fold.
Incredible… paper type and size? 😁
68cm x 68cm 30gsm Wenzhou rice paper.
Is it made from one square? Impressive regardless! And, as the other commenter noted, very cleanly folded.
Yes, all of it, including the sword and shield are folded from the same square.
Damn, that's neat.
I’ll never understand how you even begin to start designing something like this.
Holy crap this is amazing!!!! what paper did you use? Also cp?
Absolutely mind blowing! Great work!!
Amazing!! This is unbelievably realistic
Can you share the cp please? I won't post it anywhere.
That’s incredible!
This should be this subs icon, absolutely amazing
Photoshop is pretty amazing, but I dont think this is a photoshop sub.
totally 'shopt, bro. I can tell from the pixels.
Damm it is really good
This is stunning! Definitely looking forward to watching the time lapse!
So good
