Reply to comment by nullagravida in Origami titan beetle, designed by Shuki Kato and folded by me, folded from one uncut 50cm square of paper, 2022. by H3ISEN

So this kind of origami is known as box pleated which means that the starting square is made into a grid through folding and unfolding, then the crease pattern (which is basically a map of all the folds) is creases onto the paper using the grid points as references. The folding requires no math as I got the diagrams from a book. Designing requires some math but it can be done without math.

is there a video or something showing the technique? this is great thanks for starting to explain it. nobody ever seems to do that for us outsiders.

The Plant Psychologist has a video series on origami design, with much of the course covering boxpleating (bp) design
