:) . you're doing a wonderful thing, sharing, so I appreciate it very much. it came up when you referenced circular motion and gluing the circle at the point of a good and joint position. the challenge was understanding where the point was visually so the idea of glue and intersection was right. That's where all the visual angle references prompted me to at least suggest more close ups at the crucial bends and functional placements. I thoroughly appreciate and enjoy your generosity in this process. If you would like some editing support, I will help in Adobe as well. But; great channel. Much appreciated for the passion play of dimension and mechanics!!! Awesome!!!

Thanks for the offer. I think we've got it covered. I had another look at the circular motion tutorial and I see your point. It is actually a bit difficult to position the wheel correctly. What I neglected to mention in the tutorial is - if you look at the wheel there is a little square that has been shaded in, the little "L-shaped" piece glues on behind the shaded area.

I'm not quite sure what exactly you mean by "finished"! There is a section in my book "Pop-Up Design and Paper Mechanics - How to make folding paper sculpture" That explains a bit about making "high quality" pop-ups. Use heavier card; Work out designs by making dummies first, then measure and score all the fold lines so that they're sharp and precise; Illustrate the pieces before gluing them all together. Hope this is of some help.

These are amazing books! What weight of card stock do they use in making books. Especially pieces of that height?

@thepop-upchannel4919

6 жыл бұрын

For quick and easy folding as shown in these tutorials, where the card doesn't need to be scored, I use 160gsm. for more substantial models probably 220gsm. is better, but this will have to be measured and scored. The ideal card is as rigid as possible and as thin as possible. sometimes most of a pop-up could be relatively light weight card and just make it double thickness where a component needs extra strength. The size of the pop-up also dictates the weight of the card - the bigger the pop-up the heavier the card needs to be.

@thepop-upchannel4919

Жыл бұрын

160 should be fine - making the card thicker usually means that you'll have to measure and score the fold lines. If the panels are buckling it's always possible to just cut out a piece that fits exactly and stick it on to reenforce the panel. As a rule of thumb - the bigger the model the stronger the card needs to be.

Hey Sir! I am trying to make a tall tree following this mechanism, similar to the example no.4 (big-bang pop-up book). Can you please explain a little bit more how to keep it tall and straight. Mine is slouching backward!

@thepop-upchannel4919

7 жыл бұрын

Yes that pop-up in the Big Bang book is pretty amazing - also a bit difficult to make. The mechanism is actually slightly different from the one explained in the video. I'll probably try and explain the theory in another video at some point. In the meantime here are the measurements for the pop-up that appears in Big Bang:- The main structure is a V-Fold. On the V-Fold piece the angles between the central crease and the creases of the tabs that glue it to the base are both 78 Degrees. On the base the angles between the spine fold and the points where the V-Fold is glued to the base are both 68 Degrees. The section that rises up really high is part of the V-Fold, there is a crease 15.8 cm above the base. There is a second piece of card that pushes up the top section of the V-Fold (Make this piece double thickness as it needs to be very rigid.). This second piece is 18 cm long. It is glued to the base 3.2 cm behind (and parallel to) the V-Fold. At its top end it is glued 1 cm above the crease. I hope this helps and that your tree stands really tall.

Hi can I ask, why does the top levels slant?

@thepop-upchannel4919

2 жыл бұрын

V-Folds fold down in the direction that the V is pointing - so the slant is because the V isn't standing up perfectly. Partly this is because of the slight bendiness of the card. It could be made to stand up a bit more straight either by flexing the base to give it a bit more lift, or else by adjusting the angles on the V fold pieces, making them a little more acute will make it lift a little more.

You're absolutely right - they don't equate! At the beginning of Tutorial 30 I am just showing examples of tall structures that rise up higher than the height of the page. The tower explained in that tutorial is just one of those mechanisms. The mechanism that features in the Big Bang Pop-Up is explained in Tutorial 35. The very tall "Rapunzel Tower" is another structure that I plan to try and explain in a forthcoming tutorial that I hope we can make before too long (lock down permiting).

Tried this one today. After a couple of attempts I realised that I wasn't matching the V-angles accurately enough when the first floating plane went on. Eventually worked out a technique to insert the plane folded and the tabs found their natural position. Still need to add the second and third tiers ... wish me luck. 😁
