Jeffrey Tindi: Week 5 Glasses

My glasses were inspired by the Beatles. I chose a more mechanical look for these glasses. 

The modeling techniques that I used the most was extrudecurves and mirror. I created one side of the glasses then mirrored it to the other. Most of the surfaces were filleted. 

For the material choice I used hard plastic,aluminum and leather textured plastic for the ear piece. I wanted to use a hot pink for the glass area also inspired by the Beatles era.

My inspiration for the design came from a pair of Oakley glasses that i found while doing my research at the beginning of the project. The glasses are a bit square-like and it has got a simple and classical design.

I used my orthographical pictures to create curves that i could use as starting points for my model. I started with the front view and got the curves and then i created a curve in the top view that I used crv2view with the model curves to get them more bent. I extruded the surfaces and got the basic shapes of my glasses. I created the rest of the model using extruded curves and i finished of by filleting the edged of the model. 

I chose to have a black plastic frame and tinted glass on my main model to keep it simplistic. I tried out with different colors and decided that the multiple color set looked really cool.

      For the glasses I had the chance to model Kathrine Clark's Glasses. As you can see in the drawings, the glasses are meant to be for horse riding. I didn't understand the idea of the glasses after I modeled them. Kathrine explained me that the glasses were supposed to only cover the eyes (it is shown in the first drawings), they were not supposed to have a frame. I did them like this because I was confused by the drawings and I thought that it would go well with the market. 

     I modeled the glasses thinking of its functionality, I thought that horse riders will need glasses that would hold really well to their heads and that is why the frame is open so it fits behind the ears. Also, Kathrine designed the glasses so they could fold and snap. 

    When I started it on Rhino, I began by placing the pictures with the command Picture Frame, and then just trace the right side of the drawing with the Curve command. After tracing everything, I converted the curve into a PlanarCurve, Trim the curve, and then Extrude it to make it thick. To create the little holes, I just used cylinders and did a BooleanDifference. When I was done, I just mirrored the right side of the glasses. To create the object in the middle so it could fold, I just used to boxes and cut them with a diagonal cutplane.

      In KeyShot Iwanted to used brown and blue colors because I feel that they would look good with their outfit howevere all of the brown colors were too brights and I wanted the glasses to have a very edgy style. I decided to go for the black and grey color palette with some white edges.

For my glasses I drew inspiration from a couple different areas. Immediately when I thought of designing glasses I thought of Oakley and started looking through their extensive list of sunglasses. I set out to create a large profile sunglass for male teenagers from teens to twenties. I looked at different styles of Oakley's such as the Oil Rig, Style Switch, Big Taco, and the Jupiter line. The name and inspiration for these large profile glasses came from the planet Saturn. It is one of the largest planets in our solar system. The casual style of the glasses came from the fact the Saturday is named after Saturn so I wanted to bring in a little bit more of a casual, walk around, weekend feel to the product.

To create the glasses I used many different methods in Rhino. For the lens of the glasses I used curve to view commands to create the curved profile from side to side then I drew cross-section curves and patched the surface. After that I extruded and filleted the glasses. To create the front frames I used curve to view again along with patch and extrude. Then I boolean differenced the lenses from the frame to create and interchangeable lens. After that was done I used pipe and blend commands to fillet the surfaces. To create the stems I used curve to view, offset, blend and boolean commands along with fillets and chamfers. To create the hinges I used booleans, along with offsets to create hinges and housings. In the modeling there were 3 naked edges I was unable to join. I tried cap, join, join edge (which worked for several) and pipe and blend.

In Keyshot I chose to use mainly plastics to keep the objects light weight and durable. For all the plastics I played around with the material settings to take away the roughness and make a smoother surface. For the lenses I changed the advanced settings such as specular, and diffuse to create a colored transparent lens that had a glossy almost mirrored look. For the environment I worked with the stock environment and edited the hdr files so create a scene that would suite the glasses.

Nick Tourville- Week 5 Tune-Ups Glasses

      When first brainstorming for this design, I thought about the glasses I use. One of the pairs of glasses I wear most often are my SCAD Drumline shades, and from there I though about how they could be given extra function. When practicing with the Drumline, we commonly have the problem of needing a drum key but not having on with us at the practice field. So, I put a drum key on each side of this pair of the Tune-Ups shades. The key is as narrow and short as possible to both function but not get in the way.
       When constructing the Tune-Ups, I first set up and aligned my background bitmaps using Picture Frame. I then drew a curve around the lens, extruded it, and piped around it. I made a series of boxes matching the general size of the sides and then used Trim to get them to the right shape. The Bend tool came in handy for shaping the lens, frame, and sides. Attaching and detailing (around the screw and hinge) were done with Boolean Union and Difference.
       The main frame of the shades is chrome, the lenses are some glass tinted slightly blue, and the key and screws are aluminum. To create soft tips for the sides, I used a mold-tech. Finally, I used a soft touch material for the nose rests.

Ceci Michelena: Week 5 Glasses

 

My sunglasses design was inspired by vintage aviators. I chose to go with a theme of Ferrari because it is very suiting to this category of glasses. 

To create the model in Rhino, I imported my orthographic images I had drawn and aligned them appropriately (as we learned in class). I used the offset surface tool a lot to create solids out of surfaces that were already curved. For the gold rim around the lenses I used the piping tool. To create the details of the horse and the lines, I projected curves and extruded/piped them. I added hinge details to the ear pieces to support the idea of the folding sunglasses design.

Because of the vintage theme, I chose to use dark wood as the material for the frames. The details such as the piping around the frames, the horse, and the stripes behind the horse are made of 24k gold to maintain the high status and luxury of a Ferrari. And finally, the name "F205 Scuderia" was inspired by the way Ferrari names a handfull of their cars, such as F40, F50, F12, etc. and I replaced the numbers with our course number (ELDS 205).

These are my Opti glasses, they are made for comfort and focus when running, biking, working out ect. Personally I like headphones that wrap around my ears and that causes a problem when wearing sunglasses and being active. With this design ears are not needed and the bands work with some tension to keep on your head. The side keep dust from sliding in on the side which happens a lot in the suburbs when people are doing their lawns. The band is made from carbon fiber and the back pad is leather. The top part of the lens cap is made from a smooth plastic.
