- Better explanation https://geekydadcrafts.com/2019/01/10/the-blade-runner-unico...
- "Diagrammed by Kenneth Thompson". The name sounds familiar...
- Thanks. These are waaay better instructions.
- I used to fold an origami unicorn design by Marc Kirschenbaum. I can't find any instructions on the Modern Internet, but I used to fold it out of gum-wrappers while sitting in class.
The unicorn from the film itself wasn't "true" origami, being a prop consisting of several pieces glued together, but it really popularized the idea of an origami unicorn and a number of the current designs were prompted by it.
- 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.
- Very Cool
- I recently picked up an origami book and started practicing in dull moments. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with phone addiction.
- I used to do origami obsessively in my youth, and recently picked it up again while spending time with my nephew. I'll have to give this one a go!
- Its not foldable from one paper sheet?
- 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.

- 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...
- Wow, impressive! Though I don't dig that "crumpled" style as much, maybe a bit of it but not this much.

On the final page it has a link to the "How to fold from a single sheet"
- 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.
- So what did you mean?
- Interesting it starts off the same as a crane
- As many origami folds do, I believe
- 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.
- 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
- Now we need the 1 cut and fold algorithm.
- Thank you for sharing, I really enjoy origami and look forward to learning this fold.
- Nice
- Where is Bladerunner mentioned?
- It does reference it in links on the 'COMPLETE' page
