This plug-in simulates paper folding and cutting.
You run script once to create paper fold, then edit,cut,color the fold then you run the script again with "Unfold" to get paper snow flake.

Version 2 added which allows you to choose 1st option of fold to be 12ths (Actual Snow flake folding) so that you'd get a 6 leaf pattern.

I remember making tons of these when I was a kid, Tran. Thanks for sharing your cool plugin.

thanks for trying out lylejk.

Version 3 allows you to Unfold any image.

Here's the Unfold of Mona-Lisa.

Mona Lisa unfolded 7 times (128ths).

We could like do it like an elementary art project where we make many different snow flakes.
Each person create a snow flake with radius 500, then after they're done they can scale down to 200x200 snow flake.
Then at the end i can put them all together like a class project (We're all in the same class, "grade GIMP!"). hhee

I assume you can do this with a blank image? I opened a picture and only got a white one back.
Of course I coloured it.

Wasn't sure if I needed vs 3 to unfold so I downloaded it any how. Didn't have anything else in the script so I just pressed unfold this time

Butterfly image unfolded

version 3 unfolds any image if you already have alpha channel.
version 4 will add alpha channel before unfolding if you don't have an alpha channel already.

Version 5.
Added ability to do 3-leaf (6ths), 5-leaf, 7-leaf, and 9-leaf.
Here's a sample using 9-leaf(18ths).

Hope this doesn't offend anyone.

I like them leafs.

Snow-flakes submitted so far...
If you submit it on GL I can view showcase.php and just type in showcase-noname.php in the url instead and it shows me the submitted work without usernames so it's a nice collection.

OK; took me way too long to get the symbols to symmetrically align to the edge of the wedge but had fun doing so.

Very nice snowflake, Lyle.

Thanks, Pat. Need to download the latest plugin (haven't done so yet). Still, lazy guy I am. lol

Very nice toy. I used a Dragon Scale brush.
