The AOR Tactical Light is a flashlight designed to be super durable and easy to use in any environment. It was designed after tactical flashlights in the military however has various features that differentiate itself from it's competitors. I wanted this light to be really aggressive looking with sharp edges and repetitive patterns. The front end is supposed to be able to be used to puncture and pry and the cutout sections in the middle make for a really grippy handle even if it gets wet.
This light surprised me in how much longer it took than I thought it would. The cutouts in the front section of the flash light was really difficult however I managed to get the exact look I was going for by doing a tapered extrude with a circle. For the grip I used orient on curve to get a triangle extrusion to wrap around the flashlight and then boolean differenced it out. Once I got the shape I wanted I did a linear array down the handle to get the repetitive sequence for the grip.
For materials I was set on using a polished titanium which fit the concept pretty well because I wanted it to be a really rigid and lightweight tool. The titanium also has a nice slight yellow coloration that makes it obvious that it's not one silver or aluminum which would be too flashy for this model.
