Tim Hardin: Week 9 Lamp

For this project, I wanted to create a lamp that resembled a splash (more specifically a splash of light). To create the shape of the lamp, I drew an initial curve and revolved it, added multiple taurus' around the outside of the object, and boolean differenced a cylinder through the middle for the hole to fit the socket. I also used the bend tool to form the shape exactly how I wanted it to look. 

To create the ribs for laser cutting, I used the section tool, pipes and trim tool, and finally the unroll script that was provided. In keyshot, I used the light oak material for the wood, and adjusted the colors so it resembled the local color of the wood I have purchased for the actual lamp. I also used an area light and then turned it up to around 100 watts so that it would create a nice glow.
