Origami Zergling and Hydralisk Tutorial Videos Complete

Earlier this year, I released three videos of me folding my origami hydralisk, hoping that this would help the people who got stuck trying to follow my step-by-step diagrams.

Sadly, it did not. Many people replied, asking for more clarification on the infamous Step 11.

YouTube is a great place to practice NVC...

So, being the generous and understanding origami teaching person that I am, I decided to try again, with a much slower video where I narrate each step of the way in detail, as if guiding a complete beginner.

And it seemed to work. Yay.

I love how you go so slow, other just go through things so fast.

Thnx for posting this, I menaged to fold one while watching! Good tempo and very instructive!!

Most of the time people go too fast and you miss a step, but there is NO possible way you can miss a step in this. Awesome! You must be a genius o.O

thank you u are one of da best origami narrator :D

And, the classic...

god thank u after 2 years i did step 11

Yeah, after seven years I finally have created some instructions that other people can follow. :p

It's very slow, so it's a long video. Slow but good. :) In eight parts on YouTube. Here's the first:



And the rest:

Also, I made a similarly slow, narrated tutorial video for my origami zergling as well. In ten parts. Here's the first:



And the rest:

And again, the acclaim:

Thanks that was the best series of explanation videos ever.

this is a very noob friendly vid. nice. you don't see origami videos this well made that often.

sir, you have my respect and the [SF] Official Seal of Approval

The best part is knowing that I have improved people's lives in real, tangible ways. I give people the power to fold origami aliens. Now that's what I call real value. :)

After 2 and a half hours of testing my persistence and determination I have completed this project. Thank you axcho, because of you, I am now the epitome of cool, the envy among my peers and I have a freakin' paper zergling.

Thank you, axcho, for these fantastic videos! I've finished my (hot pink) zergling! It can join the esteemed company of my origami hydralisks (also thanks to you)!

Thanks for the videos! I just finished my zergling, and I knew almost nothing about origami before. :D

Seriously, that's amazing. Several people who have never done origami before have commented saying that they were able to follow these instructions and make an origami zergling as their first model.

Okay, now you can start bugging me about an origami ultralisk. Maybe I'll actually make one in a few more years. ;)

Origami Hydralisk Tutorial Video and StarCraft II Released!

Update:
I just posted two slow, narrated tutorial videos for origami beginners - one for the zergling, and another for the hydralisk. Check them out. ;)

In case you haven't heard, StarCraft II is finally out! :D

Conveniently, Blizzard has been kind enough to time their release to coincide with the even more exciting release of my own epic, three-part TUTORIAL VIDEO for my original origami hydralisk design! ;)

A long-awaited release, most assuredly.

Rather than try to describe it to you, I'll just embed the videos right here on this blog and you can experience their amazing splendor firsthand. Just try not to let your head explode.


FOR THE SWARM! :D







It's been three years since people first started bugging me with incessant demands for a tutorial video. But now I can rest in peace, because the tutorial video is complete! :D Or not, because now they're asking when I'll be posting the instructions for my origami zergling. Oops. :p

If you want to be the first to know when I post my zergling tutorial video, go ahead and subscribe to my YouTube channel. :)

instructions coming 'soon'...

How to make an origami hydralisk

Update:
I finally created a video tutorial for my origami hydralisk! :D



Guess what? You know those old origami hydralisk instructions I released last year - the ones that no one except maybe one or two people could figure out? Well, I finally managed to finish the fancy photo instructions that my frustrated fans have been begging for! Yes! :D Time to rejoice, I expect.

It goes by the simple title of How to make an origami hydralisk. Try it! In this interactive Flash package, there are almost a hundred photos detailing each step, and each intermediate fold as well. Plus there are several photos you can look at of the finished model, and an animation using all the images, so you can see a half an hour of folding condensed into about half a minute. There's a lot of good stuff to find in there.

To quote from the about page:
I came up with this origami hydralisk model in 2003. Eventually, in the summer of 2006, I finished drawing the instructions for it. In late October, I posted them on dA, and found that sadly, no one could decipher them. Darn. It was then suggested to me, repeatedly, that I release a new version of the instructions using photos instead. I got around to doing so on July 8, 2007, ending up with over a hundred photos to process. Over the summer, I added origami symbols and put this fancy Flash thing together. Now, on September 8, 2007, I am finally through with it!

Actually, make that 2:40 am on September 9, 2007. This has been something of a late-night project for me. :p

Before I go to bed, I'd like to thank the impatient people on deviantART for their constant nagging! They gave me the motivation I needed to struggle through this epic endeavor. ;)

Origami Hydralisk Instructions

Update:
I've just finished a narrated tutorial video in eight parts, for your folding pleasure. Step 11 is finally yours to master:



Update:
I've since created a better set of instructions, with photos of every step - and even in between. It's all compiled into a nice Flash package: How to make an origami hydralisk

new and improved...

I finally went ahead and posted the instructions for an origami Hydralisk I designed years ago. Here's a good picture of what a Hydralisk is supposed to look like. My origami model looks quite similar, if I may so myself.

The diagrams are all drawn in pencil, without a ruler or anything, so they are somewhat messy. You kind of have to be familiar with reading origami diagrams in order to understand them. At the least you should know the universal origami symbols and be able to make some simple models from memory, like the crane for example.

Anyway, it's pretty cool, and I finally finished! Yay! :D
