Emily O'Brien: Camera

   For my camera I was inspired by the old, shake it Polaroid cameras. I took the old box shape and added several curves and bumps so that the camera appears more sleek, The matte black coloring adds a bit of edge to the sleek look. I also added a touch of modern to the Old Fashion by adding a screen to view the image rather than looking into the camera.

   To create this shape I started with its original shape of an extruded a square. Then I trimmed out some of the surfaces and added Blended and Network Surfaces to create the curved surfaces. In the front the lens was created with three extruded circles. The area where the picture is ejected from was created using an extruded rectangle that went partially into the camera, then using Boolean Difference I cut out the shape I wanted. For the buttons I used my knowledge from the mouse project and added a 3D object to my camera, Boolean Differenced the object but did not delete it so that a casing was made for the button. I then added fillets to get rid of my rough edges.

   For materials I used all hard, matte plastics in black, teal and green. For the lens I added a glass piece that is hard to see due to the black matte plastic on the rest of the camera. The flash has an emissive light on it. For the image screen I added an opaque texture onto a white, hard plastic.
