Lewis Hunt : Week 9 Camera

                 For my camera design I drew a lot of influence from the Leica T camera.  These cameras are very complex and have the ability to produce photos as good as the Canon 5D.  But the cameras themselves are very simplistic on the outside and have a touch screen interface on the back rather than a clutter of buttons. 
                 For the model itself I started with an extruded rectangle.  I rounded off the edges and cut out a curve to give it a form that would work well for all hands.  I then added the lenses using multiple cylinders.  I polar arrayed a cylinder onto the back cylinder to get the ridges.  For the back I drew the cut out that I wanted and then offset that curve and blendsurfaced them back together. I then filleted all of the edges so the surfaces were smooth.
                 For the materials I chose to have aluminum.  This is unlike most cameras because it is lighter and more durable.  It is also accented with hard black plastic.
