Posicin del papel: Color arriba. Color abajo. Papel de un solo color.

Pliegues y lneas bsicas:

Todos los pliegues tienen una representacin grfica que esta compuesta por un tipo de lnea y una flecha asociada a ella, as que simplemente viendo el tipo de flecha o de lnea sabremos como debemos doblar. Esto puede ser muy til en aquellas zonas del libro donde por su pequeo tamao no se sepa con seguridad si la lnea que aparece es valle o montaa.

Tipo de lnea. Pliegue valle.

Proceso de plegado.

Explicacin.
Consiste en doblar hacia delante, llevando un lado del papel sobre el otro.

Pliegue Monte.

Consiste en doblar hacia atrs, llevando un lado del papel sobre el otro. Esto en realidad no es un pliegue, son dos que se hacen uno tras otro. Consiste en doblar, bien sea en monte o en valle y acontinuacin desdoblar. El resultado que queda es una marca.

Plegar y desplegar.

Marca.

Las marcas son siempre el resultado de plegar y desplegar algo.

Rayos X.

Este tipo de lnea, puede representar pliegues que se estn haciendo en alguna capa de nuestro modelo que no podemos ver o bien marcarnos alguna lnea del borde de la figura que est oculta.

04

Pliegues compuestos: Pliegue escalonado.

y Consiste en un pliegue valle inmediatamente seguido por otro en monte. Su flecha asociada es quebrada y apunta en la direccin del valle.

Pliegue hundido.

Es una forma de invertir una punta, de forma que al terminar el hundido el modelo quede totalmente plano.

Pliegue hendido.

Es un pliegue muy similar al hundido, que generalmente se hace en las puntas para cambiarles la direccin.

Pliegue Vuelto.

Como en el caso anterior este proceso permite cambiear la direccin a una punta, pero en vez de doblar hacia el interior, se hace al exterior.

Pliegue en oreja de conejo.

Es un sistema sencillo para "adelgazar" una punta y al mismo tiempo cambiarla de direccin.

Doble oreja de conejo.

Consiste en dos orejas de conejo que se hacen al mismmo tiempo por cada lado de la punta.

Estirar. Otros Smbolos importantes: Repetir tantas veces como rayas tenga la flecha. Partes iguales.

Se coge el modelo por donde indican las manos y se estira hasta obtener el resultado mostrado en el siguiente paso.

Girar.

The completed chess set. From left to right, the pieces are the pawn, the bishop, the knight, the rook, the queen, and the king. Actually, the pawn shown in the photo is an older version that did not have the long flaps tucked inside the model. The premise behind this series of chess pieces was to design a chess set that (a) could be folded from the same sized squares, (b) were 3D, and (c) were easily distinguishable. The first piece to be designed was the knight, followed by the pawn, the bishop, and the queen. The king caused me all sorts of problems, and Im actually still not happy with its look. The rook came almost as an afterthought.

This model was inspired by the successful chess boards of Stephen Casey and John Montroll. I am especially thankful to John, for sharing his trials and tribulations with this subject matter.
