Correct… they “cheated” a little to make the props for the movie. There are other designs for single-sheet unicorn, winged unicorn, and Pegasus — particularly the ones from John Montroll — but they look a bit different from the movie props, and are harder to fold. https://johnmontroll.com/books/dragons-and-other-fantastic-c...

Wow, those look fantastic! I love Blade Runner (I'm obsessed with it), but the unicorn origami never clicked with me. These ones look much better.

And then you have the works of Satoshi Kamyia which is on an even higher level https://origami.ilyazadornov.com/origami/2021/unicorn-satosh...

Am I the only one who starts folding an origami design, gets distracted, and somehow ends up with either a crane or a frog?

I got a rock.

I always end up with a Frank Gehry building.

Okay?

Origami by definition is folded from a single, square sheet.

When people write a statement and then tack on a question mark they force people to guess what they mean. Is it a typo? Is it an observation and the question mark is supposed to somehow signal disapproval? Or is it an actual question, with a little grammar error that's not uncommon for non-native English speakers?

Maybe this is just me being weird but I simply don't understand why people think a question mark means ", and that's stupid for obvious reasons that I can't be bothered to spell out and therefore I disapprove".

Admittedly my reply was even worse so yeah, pot, kettle.

Wow those are trippy like a building going through a dimensional rift or something

Some you could call a Dr. Seuss house the ones more boxy in appearance than curved

Are we losing old websites like that?

I actually was unaware that this warranted a website. When I was young, I had one origami book. I completed it to about 40%; wasn't too bad but was far away from being really good. Origami is quite an art. These days I tend to watch youtube videos more than look at oldschool books but I loved that old handbook. Never folded a unicorn though.
