Laura Matteo : Week 4 - Detergent Bottle

      My main purpose of this project was to base it on its functionally. Whenever I'm doing laundry, I get extremely irritated by how hard it is to grab the bottle when they don't even have a handle, or if they have the handle they don't have the curvature for the fingers, or when I have to wait more than five minutes to wait for those last drops of detergent to slide off the bottle. I enjoy doing laundry, but I wish I wouldn't have to get exasperated every time. Now, with this new design, my life as a college student couldn't get any better. It is light weight, it has a handle bar with the curvature for the fingers, and also, the unique heart shape makes the detergent slide off faster. 
      In KeyShot, I got caught up with the plastic materials and choose a very vibrant color palette to give it a sparkle of freshness but without making them look boring. I decided that both bottles should have something that would related them: the two yellow stripes, that's right! Also, I just scale down the big bottle and created a smaller one because it looks adorable. 
     I would have to say that I didn't have any struggles with this model until I had to used the FilletEdge command with the curves that I used with the Sweep2. At one point, the curve was separated, I don't know what I did wrong however I used the command Pipe to make them look like the others FilletEdges.
