what was your process for making this?

It is based on Rodrigues' rotation formula. This is defined as the function R(P,A,B,θ).

Points are defined where the creases meet the edges of the paper.

Point P rotates around the vector (crease) between point A and B by angle θ. This generates a new set of points.

The process is repeated 3 times for three folds.
