They're called crease patterns. Follow the creases, collapse it, and voila! A model.

Do I crease them all in the same direction, or need to start form a certain point?

OP and crease pattern expert here.

No, you can't just crease it all one way. Well, you can crease it all in one direction, but it won't fold into anything. Each intersection must have a combination of mountain and valley folds (where M-V = ±2)

Anyhow, here are some resources for learning the basics of folding from crease patterns:

This covers the absolutely necessary basics pretty well.

Now, since you're folding from a box-pleated CP, these two guides will be very useful:

Usually they use normal lines and bold/dotted lines to distinguish which way to fold the creases. In this case, if you look closely, you'll notice some lines are thin, while some are bold. Fold thin lines one way, and bold lines the other way.

The whole thing is called a crease pattern. Each line is a crease that you make on the paper.

Not exactly. Sometimes people differentiate between mountain and valley, but often they don't. The best way of drawing the lines differently that we've found so far is using bold solid lines for mountain and lighter, sometimes dashed lines for valley.

>In this case, if you look closely, you'll notice some lines are thin, while some are bold. Fold thin lines one way, and bold lines the other way.

Not true. Jason doesn't differentiate between the two types of lines. He makes sure that every crease is in there, and all the right angles, so that it meets the foldability theorems, but he uses all the same type of lines to draw it.

Easy way to go about it is to start with the white side up, and make the outermost creases valleys, then the ones in from those mountain, then keep alternating. This will get you most of what you need. The rest is trial and error. (There are different possible arrangements given a set of genderless creases)

Wow thanks for the info.
