Brendan

it'll only work 2D, Brendan....
get a chicken or fish to look at it, maybe they'll freak out
hahaha

how do u get ya cam to view it 2D? i look with it with a camera and still no movements in the head of the dragon lol....

how do we humans view it 2D? can ah? lol :blink:

actually i'm not sure bout the 2D..i made it up...
what i heard from others is that u need to see it from a distance.

i know this is a old old topic .. but .. wt*..

is this real ? anything special required or just the printed and folded dragon?

is that your own DIY dragon u filmed on ?

:o

anyone that done this other than Eryanic?

I got it to work! Hahaha! You gotta be careful when folding it and observe the "mountain folds" and "valley folds" that's illustrated on the diagram.

Basically if you have the body of the dragon facing you with "Gathering for Gardner" facing you, the head of the dragon is folded inwards toward you and not outwards to the back of the dragon. I'm hope I'm making sense here.

The story of you having to view it in 2D is true. You can only achieve the correct effect if you view the dragon with one eye. Just close one eye and look at it from different angles. As on how to fold the head to achieve this effect I have provided some images of my folded Gardner Dragon. Hope this helps. Enjoy your Gardner Dragon!

whoa what a detailed reply
didn't expect a picture tute =D

i guess ill be printing this guy out soon

thanks for the info and confirmation !

This is soooo confusing especially on the folds....! Thanks for sharing though, i'll just watch the video and feel stupid. Hahahha!

Hey Eric, holy sh**, how can this possible. It just looked like the dragon came to life.

Haha..........yeah, v v cool and enjoy being stumped! :P
