Papercraft Objects: Digital Samples

Papercraft is an extremely interesting and creative form of art, but in order to create these beautiful shapes and forms they must first be made in a one-dimensional form firstly before they can be cut and folded into a three-denominational form. One fantastic way to make these shapes in a one-denominational form is on the program "Rhinoceros 5," it allows for the creator to first make their shapes in a three-denominational and complete form and then it allows them to go and unfold their shape so that they could print it off on a piece of paper and then cut and fold their shapes into their complete forms.
After learning about these features in Rhinoceros 5 I decided to try and see what interesting shapes I could create, it was surprising how varied shapes and forms can be made with simply changeling the angle or size of each shape. The below images are the results of my experimentation in Rhinoceros 5, each image shows the assembled and disassembled shape. 
I found Rhinoceros 5 a very easy to use program once I had figured out a good majority of the hot keys which allowed me to easily create these shapes. In the first couple attempts at creating shapes it was hard to remember what hot keys and functions did certain actions, it was very helpful though to visit the Rhinoceros 5 website as a reference for using their program.
