Tesselation « Spread Hexagons », by Yoshihide Momotani |
| This tesselation is one of the simplest to realize. It is very popular because it lends itself to beautiful variations. Download the document « Hexagones dispersés, Yoshihide Momotani » and follow it scrupulously. The technique is the same as in the case of « Twisted Squares » tesselation: - creation of a regular hexagon, - creation of the 16x16 grid to start, - trace of the crease pattern, - pre-folding, - folding. This tesselation is put in place little by little, which makes it easier to fold. A video that can help you: Origami Spread Hex Tessellation by Jo Nakashima. Once the principle is well understood, try folding a 32x32x32 grid. It's longer, of course, the folding of the tesselation is longer too, but the result is absolutely superb. Choose a paper allowing the light to pass: the transparencies are prodigious. You can also fold a hexagonal grid into a square or rectangle. The result changes the symmetries of the hexagon! |
