Having discussed the geometry of the edge-based and face-based Sonobe Umulius Rectangula, we can now perform a side-by-side comparison. I tried to make the color schemes match as much as possible. Given the choice between the two of them, I think the face-based version looks better and offers the more satisfying fold.
I'd like to emphasize that in spite of having two opposing "styles" for assembling cubic structures, the Sonobe module is still an edge unit at heart. Geometrically, then, a 6-unit "cube" is not a cube at all--it is a tetrahedron. If you are not convinced of this, create a Sonobe "star" out of 12 units. Grab a black felt-tip marker and draw a bold triangle around the base of each of the 8 pyramids in the star. Then disassemble this star and put any 6 of its units together to make a cube. Go ahead. I'll wait.
What shape does the black outline make now? Are you surprised by this? I was!
The only reason 6-unit Sonobe "cubes" look cubic at all is because Sonobe triangles leave behind a right triangular pyramid "artifact" that you can point outward or inward. Learning to ignore this artifact and see the underlying geometry behind it was one of the greatest epiphanies that I have had so far in my exploration of modular origami.
The Umulius Rectangulum is nothing new, but to the best of my knowledge, I am the first person to create an Umulius Rectangulum using Sonobe modules. Now that you know the big secret, dear reader, I trust that you will be able to create your own cubic structures. In two different ways, no less.
I wanted to debox a doll so badly today. I am having my dolly shelves moved soon so did not want to debox any of the other more fragile dolls, so the Spain Passport dolly came out.
Then I had to take some pics of her with the other Spain DotW. They are so different, to me they look like mother and daughter.
As requested by The.Cursed.Prince on Flickr, here are the Platinum Belle Limited Edition 17 inch doll (2016, #107 of 500) next to the Alice Limited Edition 17 inch doll (2011, #241 of 500). Both were made and sold by the Disney Store. They are both very beautiful dolls, with spectacular skirts. They have been fully deboxed, and standing side by side, supported by their included display stands.
The NFTS took home 7 out of 8 Postgraduate Awards at the 2015 Royal Television Society Student Awards - and here is Adam Layland (Sound), Manuela Lupini Pinzani (Editor) and David Pearce (Composer) from the film Side By Side, which won the Best Postgraduate Factual Award.
A redundant photograph that demonstrates the relative sizes of three objects I've previously uploaded here.
When I ask passers-by at the office which of these two soccerballs looks better, the response is unanimously in favor of the flat unit design. This in spite of the fact that the open frame unit version has more units and was actually challenging to build, while the flat unit version was made on a whim over the course of two Saturdays using only leftover paper.
My guess is that the solidness of the flat unit designs makes them more visually compelling—at least to those who have yet to appreciate the nuances involved in assembling open frame units.
As for the World Cup itself? I'm not sure which team is going to win, but I'm pretty sure that whoever it is, three months from now it won't matter.
My results with the re-touching tutorial on Dean White's site: www.enigma-photos.com/ . The original image is Dean's and is linked to in his tutorial.
The steps are taken from notes on Amy Dresser's site.
Thanks Dean.
Shoes.
I'm not that big of a shoe person. I counted. I only have 3 pairs of Toms, 'bout 5 pairs of sandals, 3 pairs of flats, 4 pairs of boots, and well, 4 pairs of fancy shoes, and oh, 1 pairs of work shoes and also that pair of hiking shoes that I rarely use. He? let's say, 6 pairs, top!
