Think origami and you may recall the Little Caesar's commercial in which the nerdy pizza clerk folds a box into a giant squawking crane. Although the art of paper folding has been popular in Japan for centuries, it has not become a serious mainstream pastime in the West. Until now. If you can make it past a slightly confusing interface, Casady & Greene's new CD-ROM will have you turning your Wrigley wrappers into art in no time.
Instead of using text and complicated diagrams, this title provides QuickTime movies to show you simple projects in easy-to-follow, step-by-step tutorials. But then the bug strikes. You can't stop pinching up paper. Soon you're folding your mother's will into a bird.
Once you're committed to the asylum, you'll have plenty of time to check out the disc's extensive history of the art, along with a collection of biographies on select origami artists. Don't worry if you quickly use up all of the pretty paper that comes packaged with the disc - simple recipes help mix up new supplies out of junk mail and water.
Mark: Finally, a disc that gets everything right. Most of this month's other CD-ROMs are superficial snacks, but the Secret Life of Paper is a five-course feast.
Judy: Other than the QuickTime movies and the room-to-room navigation, this CD-ROM displays only basic scrolling text and very little navigational assistance.
Joe: If you like folding paper, this is the disc for you. Sixty bucks buys a lot of practice paper.

4.0 out of 5 stars
VERY GOOD SOFTWARE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Origami: The Secret Life of Paper (CD-ROM)
The Software was very helpful when I was creating the origami. The product was easier to make since it was shown in the quick time video on the computer screen. I reccomend this package to anyone who is clumsy like me and needs a visual aid.
