By vusta · 2017-09-28So Mythbusters proved you can't physically fold anything on itself more than 7 times...well you can use this MCG and fold stuff however many times you want...as long as you've got enough verts !!!
A picture won't do jack...as what does a flatpack look like.....? a flat box....so you'll have to watch the video to see the effect.
Iterations is how many times you've folded it. Why is it not an integer ?...so you could animate 'fraction' of a fold, that's why.

Then, the modifier can be found in modifier list naturally, and for the spline version, it can be found in Create>Shapes>Vu
When using Spline version, best to use on single curve spline. It won't crash if you have multicurve spline but it's simply not checking for open/close curve between each element.
