Pattern vs. Surface

final design of modules

final design of the terrain

Cut off the unrolled surface. It is very important to label the unrolled surfaces to keep everything in order.

cut off the modules form the ivory card, it is easier to fold if use knife slide through the fold line first. Sometimes it is necessary to cut off the corner of the tabs to make the pyramid looks neath.

The cut in the fold line makes the edge of the pyramid sharp

Interior view of the modules

Plan view of the module
I turn the exposure compensation to -1.3 in order to dim the dark area to build contrast and highlight the important part fo the module.
Reflection
The folding of the module is successful but unfortunately, I did not glue the modules together. After this module, I understand the importance to use developable surfaces to design, that is why when we panelling the modules in Rhino 6, we need to use meshes instead of polysurfaces in order to build pyramids that are developable.
