- Migdilio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23When I clicked on the link I was a bit surprised. Robert Lang went to the same church my family goes to. I saw the guy virtually every Sunday from ages six to eighteen. I even went to his house once with my dad when I was a kid, and some of the origami he had on display was simply mindblowing. The man is a genius. I remember listening to him in awe while he explained the nature of lasers and fiber optics (he used to work in the field) to my very inquisitive father. He's virtually a god in Japan. Digg.
- RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24You lie. I WILL believe it.
Update: Yep, I believed it...
This guy's talent in paperfolding may look cool now - but just imagine the rejection/scream he recieved when he passed a love note folded up like a tarantula in middle school... - Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21What an amateur. This guy has real talent: http://www.origamiboulder.com/
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Correction:
You will not belive what this FREAKIN' GUY can do with a piece of paper . . . - Settra, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Ditto ^.^
why are there no origami boulders? - basvd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You obviously missed the navigation menu on the left which lists all categories.
- Migdilio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6As a sidenote to my previous comment, this: http://www.langorigami.com/art/gallery/gallery.php4?name=bfcc
was one of the pieces he had on display in his living room. I remember being pretty blown away when my dad told me it was all just one piece of paper. I must've been only six or seven years old back then but I immediately recognized it upon seeing it again on the website. This is tripping me out. - Migdilio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Some of the pieces were fairly large, and of course the larger objects necessitated bigger squares of paper. Mr. Lang told me that the squares he would use to construct some of the more complex objects could be be more than 20 square feet in size!
- Qdub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5And I thought that the swan I can make was an accomplishment...
- kd5ftn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5He probably passed this instead of a tarantula:

Yan'no, he does make butterflies too :P http://www.langorigami.com/art/gallery/gallery.php4?name=birdwing_butterfly - gogocosmonaut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i LOVE... absolutely LOOOOOVE Robert J. Lang. i've been folding his works for around ten years.
- Jong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This will tell you what you need to know:
http://www.langorigami.com/art/creasepatterns/creasepatterns.php4 - kinkysexradio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This guy is incredibly talented. I've seen some pretty impressive origami before, but this was INCREDIBLE. The orchestra is my favorite. http://www.langorigami.com/art/gallery/gallery.php4?section=human
Diggity Digg. - r3zonance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What the hell is "modelation"? My guess is another friggin made up american word, cos it isn't on dictionary.com
- pavelich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it would be cool if we found out one day that DNA was mapped in a way similar to the patterns that you find in the "crease patterns" section.
- Jong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Okay, here's a folding diagram for a Boulder:
http://www.barf.cc/jeremy/origami/PDF_diags/Deranged/monobold.pdf - Toshibi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I bet that would work too....
Working for hours folding it for "Do you like me? Check Yes [] No[]" - yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what a geometry
- TheGalacticFork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hmm...perhaps if I put my repsonse in the form an action, *brain explodes*
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Look at the crease patterns! Hilarious, anyone know anything about them?
- Chaos12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow look at the Geometry ones!
- mbrutsch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Migdilio said: Robert Lang went to the same church my family goes to. I saw the guy virtually every Sunday from ages six to eighteen.
I believe that, considering he has 'dinosaurs & mythical objects' grouped together... - Eddible, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's amazing how he made them from just one piece of paper, I wonder how big they are? I assume they're quite small?
- CrackHappy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3That site is awesome. Both nippogrish and amusing at the same time. Is it sad that it is so obvious that it was written by a native english speaker? Not that I am capable of much better engrish.
Dyslexic sizan rammarg etinu! - abstractstar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i want to believe!
- TSugar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'll digg it. I'm folding for 5 years and R.J.Yang is one of most amazing origami master :) I have his books but some diagramms can't help me to fold model just because of it's (diagramm) 2D nature :)
- harpdog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1robert lang's book 'papermagic' is worth looking out for in used booked stores.
- pavelich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i never knew you could make a profession out of origami...
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2http://www.origamiboulder.com/ :D

Unbelievable ! - ext237, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2dupe. http://digg.com/software/Amazing_Origami_Art_using_Open_Source_Software
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digg Police Alert ^^^^
- djdole, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Old news.
Saw this guy's stuff at least three years ago. The webpage hasn't changed much (if at all) since.
May be new to some people, so it's a fine digg submission, but I don't think it's front-page worthy. - grayfox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I digg it but what does this have to do with technology.
- bugfolder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You're not the only one tripped out by this contact, Migdilio. Drop him a line via the link on his website and tell him you visited (also, how the film school thing is going) ;o) (P.S. Thx for picking a google-wise easily disambiguated user name.)
- sephiroth965, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1wet fold origami sucks
- zouhair, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Anyone knows about a good Origami software?
- viciousnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i absolutely want the owl.. its gorgeous and very large..
im glad i saw this site.. i got the crease page .. just dont know what to do with it now - mayhemt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Anyone understood anything about crease patterns???
- foxhoundadmin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1you will not believe what winona ryder can do with ping pong balls!
- volcomjerk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Haha that site is hilarious! Definitely more talent.
- klept, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Dare I say it and be flamed to death. What the hell. Can you imagine what some girls with guys can do with their bodies?
- dojob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0nope, but there is obviously a code (dashed lines, colors...)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Wow. those are cool.
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1believe!
- p9s50W5k4GUD2c6, on 10/12/2007, -15/+7DAMN good!
But can we say "bug fetish"? - spriggig, on 10/12/2007, -14/+6Variations on a theme--if you've built one bug, you've built them all. Not to diminish his work in any way, it's just that it makes sense that he would produce several bugs after he discovered a method for doing so. He shows other themes on the site, including human figures and flowers.
- skoopie, on 10/12/2007, -16/+7I'm not sure what it is but something about this guy's work really bugs me.
- kolop1, on 10/12/2007, -25/+1zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
