Inside Out Origami Tessellation
As promised, this is my additional manipulation of my Inclined Planes Tessellation. It's the same design posted previously, but taken a few steps further.
Essentially, all I did was take a bunch of the folds and reverse them.
Reverse folds are pretty common in standard origami. Like when you're folding a cat or a sheep. They are less prevalent in origami tessellations, but they are sometimes used.
A reverse fold is just as the name implies. You turn it inside out. It can be employed in many ways to change the structure of a tessellation.
However, with your typical twist based folds, reversing is just a matter of chocie during the inital process. Many of the folds are an either/or type of deal.
With some more complex tessellations you may only have that option after the folding is complete. As is the case here.
Robin Scholz's triphilia is a really good example.
This tessellation is another one that takes that same approach.
