Tessellation.Fold(s)_v1.

Here you are.
I'm sure most were starting to wonder...will Peter ever leave curves?
This exercise studies tessellation(obvious...). But not any regular old tessellation, something more interesting dealing with depth and hinting at structure.

Inspired by origami, I decided to script a common folding pattern to see the process on how to create the geometry digitally. Second step for me will be how to control my tessellation to keep it from distorting too much. Third one (which is most interesting) is if at the end I can flatten the geometry into one sheet for laser cutting and fold it into shape....only time will tell, and I'm couple days away from flying off to Paris....hope to update soon!.
