[+] Efficient origami design: Uniaxial, TreeMaker and Origamizer in practice, box-pleating tree method, tree method triangulation, universal molecule, gift wrapping, checkerboard gadgets, Origamizer software vs. mathematics, vertex/edge tucking molecules, Voronoi diagrams.
This class covers several additional details about Lecture 4 (efficient origami design): How is complex origami design we've seen uniaxial? How are TreeMaker and Origamizer used in practice? Box-pleating version of the tree method from Origami Design Secrets (2nd edition) Triangulation algorithm for the tree method Universal molecule example Gift-wrapping problems are still open How to fold the more efficient checkerboard How the Origamizer software works How the guaranteed-correct Origamizer algorithm is more complicated
