Innovative, stimulating and challenging book combines the art of paperfolding with making polyhedra-based models. Projects range from the relatively simple cube and tetrahedron to such mind-boggling fabrications as the double pentagonal pyramid and the truncated hexadecahedron.

Inexpensive Reference for Modular Enthusiasts,
By
This review is from: 3-D Geometric Origami (Paperback)
This slim volume has a some nice features that make up for a lack of illustrations and model photos, including a clever pentagon template, tips for cutting equilateral triangles & hexagons, and suggestions for cutting multiple pieces for the projects. I especially enjoyed working with the triangle, simple square, and the spike ball modules, which I used to make solid, satisfying models. The "triangle edge module" can be used to make a nice tetrahedron or an icosahedron (which helped me see the relationship between that shape and a dodecahedron). I skipped a couple of spiky models that required glue, but I was generally very pleased with the book.

It's cheap. You can do better for a few more bucks.,

This review is from: 3-D Geometric Origami (Paperback)
It's about the size of a grade-school workbook. The pictures are confusing and need a bit of interpretation to clarify what the author is getting at. As an experienced paper folder, I found the designs and the instructions lacking. As to the beginners perspective, for entertainment on a long train ride with my younger brother, I brought this book and another geometric origami book "Unit Origami" by Tomoko Fuse. My brother was a complete novice. He first attempted a few projects from "3-D Geometric Origami : Modular Polyhedra." He seemed a bit discouraged through the whole process, however, we were pretty bored so he attempted to complete few anyway. The finished products didn't hold up very well and they didn't look very pretty either. He was about to give up on origami altogether. I handed him the Unit Origami book, and he took off. He was an origami folding fanatic for the whole week we were staying with our relatives.

This review is from: 3-D Geometric Origami (Paperback)
I'm a big fan of the origami, and I think this book is great. It has a lot of very nice projects, it has easy-to-follow instructions, and you can create different models with the basic module. I've already made a lot of the projects, and the result was espectacular!
