I believe the -kis polyhedra (triakis, tetrakis, pentakis) are derived by 
raising the centers of the faces of the original polyhedra so as to form 
triangular faces of a constant  dihedral angle. By contrast, some of the 
Archimedean solids have different dihedrals depending on which types of 
polygons meet at an edge.

The website http://dmccooey.com/polyhedra/ has interactive models of hundreds 
of polyhedra in amazingly abstruse categories, and exhaustive data on each. The 
interface could be a little more user friendly, but clicking on the boxes and 
playing around a bit is worth the effort.

There do seem to be lots of names for similar aspects of this process. So ... 
as a non-mathematician I venture intrepidly into mathematical territory ... 
happy to have my misconceptions and mistakes pointed out.

At least the following possibilities seem to exist:

Elevation

Accretion

Cumulation

Akisation (from the Conway operator kis)

Kleetope

Pyramidisation or pyramid-augmentation

There are also the triakis polyhedra which can be derived through this process, 
though they appear to be special instances, as are those stellated polyhedra 
which can also be derived in this way.

George Hart suggests that elevation is also a special instance, the addition of 
pyramids with equilateral faces, but I do not know if this is an authoritative 
view.

I am not clear what the process of forming a Kleetope is and whether it is a 
specific process or a general one.

Of the remaining general terms I tend strongly towards cumulation because it 
means, or can mean, 'forming into a pile' which seems to make sense in terms of 
the process. 

Negative cumulation? Surely not? Excavation, perhaps?

And then, of course, I have myself been using pimpled and dimpled for years!

Elevated Polyhedra seems like a great nomenclature. I myself have
mistakenly called the Sonobe constructions stellated in the past but have
refrained from it more recently after learning the definition. Now I know
to call them elevated.

Re: [Origami] Origami Sighting - Lexus Comercial

I’m not sure who did the Lexus commercial, but I had some conversations with 
them last year about wanting origami for some sort of commercial, so I think 
this is what they eventually went with. I’m curious to know who did it. It was 
a fairly complex and unusual brief.

As those intrepid origamists here who do commercial work can attest, the needs 
of advertising does not have a lot of room for purist origamist tendencies :) I 
don’t know how you folks manage to do it!

Re: [Origami] Origami Sighting - Lexus Comercial

[Dennis Walker]

Hi,

>>But then, I haven't found a good name for those Sonobe solids. How about 
>>pyramidized octahedron or icosahedron?

I don’t have an issue with calling them 'stellated' since it means 'turned into 
a star, but I'm aware that there is a strict geometrical definition of a 
stellation and I wondered about this some time ago.

The term I found was 'cumulation', so these would be cumulated solids. I also 
remember that it allowed for 'negative' cumulation, i.e. sunken faces.
I also found the word 'cacuminated' which means 'turned into a pyramid' but 
that was in a dictionary rather than a mathematical book.

(And to pre-empt any questions, I can't remember the source for 'cumulated'. 
I'll see if I can find it again!)

A stellated octahedron can be thought of as a compound of two tetrahedra, where

have spikes that are pyramids bound by 3 right isosceles triangles and a

by 4 equilateral triangles. The Sonobe type constructions in no way satisfy the

I've seen the terms 'elevated' or 'augmented' used to refer to these types of 
structures. The pyramid sticking out from the base polyhedron does not need to 
be anything special, unless you are looking for the stellation.

Re: [Origami] Origami Sighting - Lexus Comercial

Thanks for both videos - the commercial as well as behind the scene. A
clarification about the shape. In origami we loosely call the Sonobe type
constructions stellated octahedron (12 units) or stellated icosahedron (30
units) while they are actually not. The the single sheet model in the ad
appears to have the same shape as a 12 unit Sonobe construction.

A stellated octahedron can be thought of as a compound of two tetrahedra,
where the spikes are smaller tetrahedra themselves (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellated_octahedron).  The Sonobe
constructions have spikes that are pyramids bound by 3 right isosceles

You can also buy these magic cranes at

$26 for regular size.  $45 for jumbo.

If you want to go cheap, you can also find them for around $10, give or
take, by going to eBay.  Not as nicely folded, though- like cheap knock
offs.

Here is how I do it:
- Cut an A4 square (20.8 * 20.8 cm) polyester fabric. 
- Fixate the edges so they do not unravel, I used "Stiffy " for that, just a 
millimeter along the edges; let dry. 
- Carefully fold two flat cranes from 21 cm kami or just plain copy paper.
They must have the same angles etc. 
- Unfold.
- Place the fabric between the two kami layers. Carefully fold all three layers 
into a crane again. 
The thickness of the fabric and the paper is why you want the fabric to be just 
slightly smaller than the paper.
- Place on a flat dish and something flat on top of the flat crane. 
I use two porcelain pie forms of different size so that they can be inside each 
other.  
- Put into oven preheated to 200 celsius for 20 minutes. 
- Let cool completely, e.g. in the fridge.
- Unfold and take out the fabric. Refold.
- Hold in one wing tip and flap hard to unfold the crane.
- Throw it into the air, possibly bashing it up a couple of times, and it 
refolds itself.
 Done correctly, it will refold itself just by throwing it into the air.

You can do this in other fabrics like silk or cotton, but they will not refold, 
and they are not moist resistant, but lose their creases when becoming wet. A 
theatric taylor (if that is what they are called) recommends at least 60 % 
polyester.

You may have to experiment a bit to find the optimal polyester. It should not 
be too thin and soft, a little stiff is fine, but thick is not so good (for 
this purpose).

In the fashion industry similar techniques are employed, often boiling the 
object for an hour instead of using the oven. I find the oven easier to use, at 
least for those smaller objects.

Those fabric cranes and the magical are great for entertaining in a show or 
while teaching. Other models may be used, but the crane works particularly well 
and is a well known and great symbol of origami. I have made e.g. roses and 
birds from silk organza. 

Enjoy,
Hans

You can find those tissues with the search word "Origamagic".
I remember to once have seen a detailed instruction on how to prepare the
tissue yourself, but can't remember where or how.

Nice Greetings

I read it and enjoyed it a lot. But if you are an origamist who considers him 
or herself to be "normal," be prepared to see yourself through a very different 
lens (i.e. the rest of the world).

Hi Louise,
Thank you for sending this notice. I had no idea that my parchment-folding 
baking grid trick is featured in the current issue of Cook's Illustrated 
Magazine. How on earth did they learn that I do this when baking cookies in 
Haverhill, MA?!  Now I understand why I often feel as if somebody is spying on 
me whenever I bake! Well, it's curtains for my kitchen windows from now on.
Actually, I had submitted my idea to Cook's Illustrated Mag ages ago--the 
enticement being a free 1-year subscription--and never heard back from them. 
Looks like origami piqued their interest after all. They did a wonderful job 
with the art that illustrates the method. Now I'm off to buy five copies for my 
mother.
Thanks again for the notice.

Re: [Origami] Origami Sighting...Chinese Film

[sue neff]

I rented a remarkable Chinese film from the library this week:

"The Blue Kite" (1993)

Directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang.

In the film a young bride receives as a wedding gift a paper cut.

There are many paper cuts pasted on windows throughout the

film.  Later, for her young son (approx age 2) she folds a "Blow-up"

frog origami model ( ? with extended legs).  I've never seen this particular

model before.  Does anyone know if this traditional Chinese model has

been published/ diagrammed anywhere?

Our other Club news:  the family of Mrs. Teruko Shiono, who died recently,

has donated to OCoP a large supply of: OUSA Annuals; origami books; and

paper supplies.  OCoP plans to share these supplies with the origami clubs
at:

Sq. Hill, East Liberty  and Dormont Libraries; CMU and Univ. of Pgh.  We are

most grateful to the Shiono family for this support of our program.

I'm traveling, and don't have access to my book collection, but had a few
random moments to kill, and went poking.  This photo of the Cerceda pig in
the Origami Database:

argues that it is not that pig, unless the artist who did the drawing of
the restaurant's logo went to the trouble of adding a bunch of arbitrary
creaselines. (Which, while not impossible, seems odd to have done.) Or that
there is more than one Cerceda pig, also possible.

Am not finding the Yoshizawa pig in the ODB at all - but lots of his work
isn't entered there - so I can't compare directly with any of those.

Re: [Origami] Origami sighting--New York Times Book Review 3/29/2015

But I find myself wondering what the drawing *means*... does the drawing 
represent a specific element of the book? Reading the review, some of the 
other illustrations appear to refer to specific incidents, but there's no 
mention of the fortune teller. Looked at one way, the drawing is of course a 
literal interpretation of the title - but I wonder if that's because it's an 
incident in the book (except you cannot actually fold a real clock, of 
course) or is it some other reference. Maybe it refers to the book's 
out-of-sequence diary structure: if you took a regular diary, and folded it 
up somehow, it's as if you're folding time...

I wonder if, by using the clock  face and the fortune teller, you could get two 
times to link up by pressing them together :-) and be able to freely pass 
between those two times.

Just musing on plot possibilities :-)

It is possible to make, without cutting, O, P, g ... by using more than
