Welcome!

My thesis proposes to recreate the act of folding a piece of paper into an origami model using virtual "paper" modeled and manipulated in a 3D computer graphics program. The research will focus on developing a method for depicting this procedure so that the end result is both physically and aesthetically realistic. The evolution of the project will be detailed with regards to the creative process and the technical studies that are required to complete this endeavor. The final result will be illustrated by a short 3D film, titled "When Pigs Fly…", that will showcase the techniques developed to create an origami-based narrative animation.
