Top 10 Hardest Origami in the World

The top 10 most insane origamis ever created and their crease patterns. Which one is your favorite?
I only included designs folded from one square with no cuts that had publicly available crease patterns. I also limited the list to one design per creator. I know there's many ways an origami can be considered complex and there's no real way to rank their complexity, but I tried to give a varied list that covered a wide array of subject matter. And these origamis would be considered super complex by anyone's standards.

The world of super complex origami is full of mind-blowing art. These crazy complex origami designs are incredibly time-consuming to fold and I give incredible respect to the designers as well as anyone who has ever folded one of these. Looking at how complex the crease patterns are can give you an idea of just how amazing and talented these designers are.

These are some crazy designs. Comment below which one's your favorite!

The size of the "single" square for each of these must have been enormous ... they all look great

[buldg]

I feel like the first one would be a fun project for a more advanced artist. It only seems daunting because the crease pattern leaves some vagueness so you can size the number of repeating patterns to your paper size

[MikkoRantalainen]

Kei Watanabe's Aged Dragon was hands down favorite of mine. Love that organic look for the shapes.

The falcon just hit me differently.. they're all complex, but that one just struck me.

[Trippi_Troppi_YT-Team]

“The Bobbit Worm”is for me the hardest origami ever created! Who can even do theese bilions of circles 😱

[pulse_verify]

I've folded that spiny lobster and man, I gotta say it is worth the days of work I put into it.

[JohnnyJohnthor]

Robert Lang's cactus is very mindblowing

[jovanyt]

I feel like these are the models that people that are dedicated JUST to origami because no one has 2 free months of folding with a piece of paper as big as an entire room 😂😂

[FredFier]

Insane. The human mind is truly incredible. These are all astonishing – I have no favorite bc they are all stunning in different ways.

[Manngregor]

The best fold is probably the romanescu but my favourite model is the Dragon by Watanabe

[sksssi]

The cactus is a work of crazy skillThe paper works seem to have their own sophisticationIt's the best

[sachindaniorigami]

Wow thanks for sharing videos with crease patterns.

[JetAnimates]

I am refusing to comprehend how pepole come up with the designs for this stuff

[J_unh]

it would be nice if you mentioned the folders..but they all look great, and I think the ryujin 3.5 was folded by a korean guy named Tae dong wook.

[hanjm]

Falcon is looking very good. Ryujin scale adopted.

Where did you find the Crease Patterns for the models? I want to give a try on Aged Dragon but I can't find it, could you tell us where you got it, please?

[gopsahoo]

Hey so Kevin hi how do you make the stop motion animation soo... clean. I mean like how do you make them look like they are actually moving and not like pics?

[wlkosan]

can someone at least roughly explain to me how the process of inventing the diagram for the origami complex works ... I just don't get it.
