Važnost dijagramiranja - iz perspektive početnika

The importance of diagramming – from a novice point of view.

Ideja je rođena / An idea is born

Na tribini o modernom origamiju postavljeno je zanimljivo pitanje: "Znači trebate origami dijagrame samo za druge, zar ne?" "Da i ne" - uslijedio je brzi odgovor.

At a presentation talk on modern origami an interesting question was asked. „So you need origami diagrams just for others, don't you?“ Yes and no - was a quick reply.

Razvijena ideja / A developed idea

Da, to je zgodniji način objašnjavanja mog dizajna drugima. Ali ne, nije samo za druge. To je i za mou kutiju s idejama. Ne zabilježim li ideju dok je još uvijek tu, gubim je. Neke se ideje vraćaju, neke se iskrive s vremenom, a neke se pojave samo jednom u životu.

Yes, it is a friendlier way to explain my design to others. No, it is not just for them. It is also for my box of ideas. If I do not somehow note it down while the idea is still around, I loose it. Some ideas return, some distort with time,  some appear once in a lifetime.

Pa što onda učiniti kad nedostaje vremena ili vještine za dijagamianje?

So, what to do when you have neither time or skill to diagram?

Prvo utočište je saviti kopiju modela i staviti ju u kutiju s idejama. Imajte hrabrosti savijati i ponovno rastvarati, čak puno puta :). to će vam pomoći u razumijevanju tuđih shema savijanja. Moći ćete vidjeti  gdje mislite drugačije o ostalih, a gdje imate istomišljenike.

First resort is to fold a copy and put it in a box of ideas. Have courage to unfold and fold again, even many times  :)  This will help you in understanding other people's crease patterns. You will be able to see where you think differently from others and where you share thoughts.

Shema savijanja Pjevice / Songbird CP S.S.Čuček

A što je to shema savijanja? Kad potpuno rastvorite neki origami model, vidjet ćete puno linija savijanja. Ako ih dodirnete, primjetit ćete da se neke izdižu poput planina, dok su druge udubljene poput dolina. Označite ih s dvije različite boje. Jednom bojom izbočene, a drugom udubljene linije savijanja.

And what is a crease pattern?  When you unfold an origami model flat, you'll see lots of creased lines. If you touch them, you will clearly differ them: some protrude like mountains, some sink like valleys. Mark them with two different colours. One for mountain folds, one for valley folds.

Markeri su se pokazali praktičnima za izbočene linije savijanja, olovke za udubljene linije savijanja. Ako umetnete komad papira u žlijeb nabora, označavanje izbočenog ruba iznad neće ocratati neželjene linije. Vrh olovke klizi žlijebom nabora i ostavlja trag.

Markers proved good for marking mountain folds, pencils for marking valley folds. If you insert a piece of paper in the groove of the fold, tracing the protruding edge above it will not make any unwanted lines. Pencil's point slides along the groove and leaves a trace.

Kad ste napravili svoj prototip, savinite više kopija. Pomaže da se vide i osjete mane i dobre strane tog dizajna.

Now that you have made your prototype, make multiple copies. It helps to see and feel  the flaws and good points of the design.

Fotografiranje je još jedan način memoriranja ideja. Glavna mana: morate uračunati različite kutove iz kojih fotografirate. To može zasjeniti ideju. Kod sheme savijanja možete uspoređivati omjere i odnose linija i nabora u modelu, čak i ako vam matematika nije najjača strana. Postaju opipljivi i vidljivi u vašem prototipu.

Photographing is another way of memorizing the idea. Main drawback: you have to count in the the different angles of photographing perspective. It can fog out the idea. With a CP you can compare the ratios and relations of lines and creases in the model, even if you are „bad“ at maths. They become palpable and visible in your prototype.

U svakom slučaju vrijedi pokušati.

 A to će biti početak puta u svijet origami kreacija...

Nevertheless it is worth trying.

And this will be a beginning of a journey in the world of origami creations....

Uživajte u savijanju :)

Many happy folds of the day :)
