Origami Club--Animated models
This is an incredible site to learn how to do origami models, the directions
are animated so you can watch each model being folded, you can adjust speed
of how fast or slow model is being folded, you can make player reverse, go
foward, or stop so you can make crease and then go on. I highly recommend
this site.
