Week 5 - Project 5 - Sun Glasses - Peyman Pirzadeh

For the fifth project we had to design a sun glasses.In this project since I'm designing a product that is in relationship with eyes I was thinking about something in a same family. So I inspired by fly's eyes.

The process part was kind of easier that I thought.  I started with putting my sketches in background by using PictureFrame and then  making curves lined up with lines I had from my sketches. Then to curve my lines I used Crv2views and shaped my straight lines like curves. Then extruded them using ExtrudeSrf and ExtrudeCrv. At the end also used Mirror command to symmetrically build the other side. 

For the material, modeled leather is used for the temples, red rough plastic for the temple tips, glass for the glasses and plastic for its actual body.

Meghan Preiss : Sunglasses : Week 5

 For my sunglasses I wanted to create something really geometric. I wanted to keep everything square and sharp. I created holes in the sides of the glasses and two inlets on each side of the front lens to further the idea of geometric glasses. I also kept the glasses squared to the front because I figured if they were rounded they would take away from my overall theme. I was debating on making the nose bridge straight but I figured that would not be comfortable.

To create my sunglasses I created solids for the front and then boolean differenced then went back and added another solid to create the actual lens. For the handles of the glasses I created two curves and then sweep2. I boolean differenced the holes on the side and the front. I created the nose bridge by also creating two curves and sweep2. I filleted all the edges with small fillets to keep the square shape.

For my material I chose wood and hard rough plastics. I chose the wood planks and expanded the size because I really enjoyed the textured look of it. I chose a hard rough beige plastic to contrast the dark wood. For the other sunglasses I chose oak and again expanded the size to create a more textured look. For this pair I chose a hard rough black plastic. The inlets I chose a hard rough electric blue to add a pop of color in each. I angled each wood material because the straight up and down paneling was boring.
