Andres Poch: Week 10 Camera

OKO is a scuba diving camera that has been specially designed for marine biology photographers. Its round shape and whole in the side makes it easy to hold when being underwater to have a perfect steady shot. Also the round shape not only allows easier grip, but along with the yellow color it feels less intrusive than the square shaped cameras in the marine environment.

To create this camera I started with by creating an ellipsoid for the basic shape. Then I boolean difference the whole of the camera to create a place for easy grip and to create the screen and the Flash. After that I created more ellipsoids to work as grips of rubber around the camera. Then with a sequence of cylinders I created the camera lens. Finally, I blended all of the surfaces to create a whole solid with no angled edges.

For the materials I used: rubber for the outermost part of the camera to help the user grip the camera; yellow hard shiny plastic, to create a bright shiny object that would attract marine life; steel for the lenses; glass for the lens; and dense glass for the screen.
