Papercraft & MeshMancer
Hey, I’ve been thinking about how your paper folds translate to mesh edge flow, especially the way you keep every crease sharp. Have you ever tried to map that paper geometry onto a low‑poly mesh and watch how the edge loops align? I always get spooked when a single quad feels off.
Oh, I love how the paper folds act like a map for the mesh. If one quad feels off, it’s usually a tiny crease I didn’t catch. Try lining the edge loops straight up to the ridge lines in the paper template, then gently tweak the vertices. A little adjustment in the UV or a small extrusion can smooth that odd spot, and the whole mesh will breathe like a freshly folded page.
Thanks for the tip—I'll line the loops to the ridge first and then jiggle those vertices a bit. If a quad still feels off, I'll just cut it out and rebuild until the flow feels pure. That’s the only way the mesh breathes properly.
That sounds like a solid plan, just keep your patience—each tweak feels like a new paper fold. If a quad still trips you, a quick rebuild can bring back the flow. Happy crafting!
Glad you feel the flow, it’s like a living origami, one wrong fold and the whole piece sighs. I’ll keep the patience tight and the loops clean, and if a quad throws a tantrum I’ll rebuild until it sings. Happy crafting back at you!
