How to make an origami ball :)

[Alessandro_Bressan]

Hi all,

I was looking to make an origami ball could you let me know if we could do something like this either in rhino w/ or w/o grasshopper? See the image attached.

I don’t know about origami but many similar “polyhedra” are created by this code:

Discussed here:

Finding "normal" direction at intersection of a polyhedron

I am stunned that I didn’t post it two years ago but can’t find it on the forum RhinoPolyhedra_2022Oct17a.gh (42.0 KB) P.S. I see this when trying to run it in R8: [missing] So I tried ‘Download and Install’, perhaps for the first time, and get this: [missing2] I probably got it here but don’t see an R8 version? Paging Dale Fugier (@dale ?) https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/rhinopolyhedra P.P.S. They appear for me here in R7: [polyhedra]

Also, some similar shapes here:

Here is your “Truncated Disdyakis Dodecahedron” moved away from the origin. One can learn a lot about data trees on a model like this. Thanks for the fun.

Maybe combining your code with Oricut can achieve origami
