X-Ray Origami by Takayuki Hori

noelevz — Mon, 02 May 2011 06:05:38 +0000

Japanese artist Takayuki Hori made a series of unique origami animal figures using papers with printed skeletons. The end result when displayed under the right light looked like x-ray images. Here is how he describes the creative process in make these origami:

each translucent sheet is first printed with either the images of fragments of an animal’s skeleton, or, on some pages, human-made discarded objects that are often ingested by the animals in the wild. using the ancient tradition of folded paper, hori assembles the pages into a three-dimensional model. once the paper is folded, the printed components are united as a whole, telling the visual story of the animal’s plight to survive in an increasingly polluted and hazardous ecosystem.

Make Origami using Adobe Illustrator

Developed by designer Jürg Lehni, ‘Crumpler’ is a plugin for Adobe Illustrator that turns vector graphics into ‘paper’, allowing them to be folded and crumpled.

With just a click of the mouse, users can manipulate the vectors to create folds as if it were paper. By dragging the mouse, the vector graphics will start to fold over in whichever direction the user points it to. Opacity should also be adjusted to achieve visibility of the folds.
