There is a lot of information about paper models and where you can download it, but no/little information about the creative process of papertoys.

How to design a papertoy starting from scratch. How to start with creating papertoys.

Matthijs C. Kamstra aka [mck] wrote an interesting article regarding this subject:
How to create your own Papercraft

Now he wrote about the creative process of designing a papertoy:
Papertoy design – the basics
and it starts from the beginning: a cube and how to make a cube into a papertoy.

It seems that people need some help in the creative process.

David Webber, the Community Manager of the Universal Record Database (URDB.org), told me about this website and some amazing records they have there.

You’ll get a greater sense if you check out the site, but they gathered a few papercraft related records. Here are a few highlights:

  • Largest Origami Cube
  • Widest Duct Tape Flower
  • Shortest Greeting Card Collection
  • Most Paper Airplanes Stuck In Hair At Once
  • Most Paper Airplanes Constructed And Flown In One Minute
  • Slowest Time For Cardboard Box Parachute To Descend 15 Feet

So what? Can you beat them???

Foldplay.com lets you put four of your own photos onto a 3D moving paper sculpture known as a kaleidocycle.

Just upload your photos, or select some of them. They’ll slice, dice and stretch them onto a triangular grid. Print it out, score, cut, fold, and glue. They have a slideshow with complete directions. Presto! You have a personalized 3D paper sculpture with your smiling face turning around and around.

They’re easy to make if you have some experience with paper models.
