TreeMaker

Design your origami with this tool. TreeMaker is a tool for origami design. Simply put: you draw a stick figure on a square, assigning lengths to each of the sticks in the figure. Through a series of optimizations and calculations, TreeMaker computes a crease pattern in the square that folds up into that stick figure. Or more precisely, it folds into a shape --- called a base --- whose "shadow" is the given stick figure. In this way, you can use TreeMaker to design an origami base with flaps of precisely the same size, length, and connectivity as a desired subject. Along the way, TreeMaker provides many options for adjusting the crease pattern and/or the stick figure to meet various artistic and/or aesthetic constraints. For a full description of the program as well as several tutorials on how to use it, please see the documentation under the Help menu.
