Reddit mentions of Origami Omnibus: Paper Folding for Everybody

Thank you. I love the book a lot as well. Although my personal favorite will always be Kunihiko Kasahara's Origami Omnibus. https://www.amazon.com/Origami-Omnibus-Paper-Folding-Everybody/dp/4817090014 I folded things from this for well over a decade when I was a kid.

Thank you for that. That book is perfect for anyone who wants to learn about origami. It's really more of a textbook with expanded explanations about the science of origami so I'd say yes indeed, read it cover to cover and make everything in it and you'll be an origami ninja in no time. Granted some of the folds are pretty hard core, Lang loves to put open and closed sinks in the most difficult places.

For those with little origami experience, I always recommend Origami Omnibus. It explains some of the math/geometry and has a taste of everything from Modular to animals to adam and eve in the back of the book. Great beginners book with some fun models too. Like most others it gets more difficult as you progress so it's a great book to learn with.

Happy folding and post your pics, we'd love to see what you make.

here are some ideas of models i designed & built



Inspired by the following Books
Unit-Origami-Multidimensional-Tomoko-Fuse

Unit Origami

Kuniko Kasahara's-Origami Omnibus:

Also i use Wolfram http://mathworld.wolfram.com/JohnsonSolid.html
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PlatonicSolid.html
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ArchimedeanSolid.html

most of the models on the above referenced pages can be built/assembled with either Sonobe units, Open Frame II units , Square/Triangle Flat unit modules or Hexagonal flat unit modules..

In addition to the books & Wolfram pages I use Antiprism - polyhedra modeling software to design, plan/colorize & 3-D render my models

Try the book Origami Omnibus, by Kunihiko Kasahara.

This books is long and has lots of very cool designs. There's a nice dragon in there, and lots of other animals. It has both simple designs and complex ones, which makes it good for the beginner.

The bookshelf and a couple of book designs came from the book Origami Omnibus. Over the years I sought out other models of books on the internet and in other books.
