Offset Humps: Tessellated
Using the basic idea from the previous photo, I quickly drew up a crease pattern, with approximations for the curved folds being splines in AutoCAD (yeah, so not entirely Polly, since they're arbitrary curves and not circles =P)... Eventually I'll probably work out what the curves should actually be more mathematically instead of guesstimating, but I was rushing...
Crease pattern for this tess but with shorter distance between hubs here:

While folding this I realized just how badly I fold curves >_<... I especially had trouble folding valley fold curves to a drawn crease pattern that I was basically "tracing"... Maybe Oschene has some tips on this? (Actually, this was what I meant when I asked you at the convention if you had any tips for folding curves)
If I had a ROBO I'd probably try doing this with really really short humps to make the pattern more compact...
