For this project I took inspiration from a very basic soap bottle design. The bottle is a classic shape and feel with a smooth cap. Underneath the cap, however, I chose to make it more detailed to allow for saving soap. The design has a lip around the screw cap to allow for less soap to spill all over the bottle and then has three tiny holes that will allow the lip area to properly drain.

To create my detergent bottle I used network surface, booleanunion, boolean2object, booleandifference, fillet, blend, and offset. To create the nozzle I used helix, pipe, booleandifference, boolean union, fillet. I then booleanunioned the body and nozzle together before offsetting them to create the inside cavity. I then created the top using two cylinders booleaned together than booleandifferenced with the nozzle to insure a perfect fit to the screw cap before then eshelling out the lip section by creating another cylinder and booleandifferencing it. Then to finish the design, I took the cap off and booleandifferenced three skinny cylinders inside the lip to create a drain system for the lip.

For the materials in the bottle I chose a bright yellow plastic with a rough finish for the top. I then chose an off-white, rough plastic for the body with a shiny blue handle and a rough, light-blue fillet for accent. I then created a png file of the "all" logo before adding a label to the rough white plastic layer through the editing material options.

    For this project, I want to design a container that would be able of holding a lot of laundry detergent with in it. In the same time, I also wanted to keep the design similar to the tutorial while not being the same design. Therefore I tried to tweaked the shape of the body, allowing the form to be more streamline. The transparent surface, allows the user to easily  look at the capacity of the detergent.

          I used 'Loft' to built up the main body and used trim and 'Sweep 1 and 2' to created the details. I used also 'Pipe', 'Boolean union', 'Offset' to transform the shape. The most hard task is I got lots of naked edges, I tried to use 'Cap planar holes' but it doesn't work then I used 'Join 2 Naked Edges' to fit it out. It is a good command.

For the materials, I don't want to used general material, then I used glossy blue and a transparent wine red to be the main color.

The overall shape was inspired by mountains. The tools I used the most were blend edges and boolean difference. I wanted to design a bottle that would be easy to hold and would also include a form pleasant to look at. I made the bottle slightly wider than most to get users more detergent.

I used curveboolean in the beginning to create the sleek curve at the side of the bottle. The material choice I chose reflects an actual bottle using hard plastic for the body  and clear plastic for the cap and the nozzle.

I chose a hot pink because I felt it was a radiant color not usually seen around the house hold.

For my design of the bottle, i try to make it look simple and clean. At the same time, I try to make it as efficient as possible, which means the biggest volume it gets at the notice space. The Z shape makes it look taller and wider.

I used loft, sweep2, filletedge, booleandifference, booleanunion, offset, and many other commends through out the process. I used loft, sweep2, patch, networksrf for the body of the bottle. And filletedge and pipe for the transition for the different sections.

For the material wise, all I used was plastic. I used hard shinny plastic for the body of the bottle. The transparent plastic for the cap of the bottle. For the colors, I mainly used the orange like Tide do and brighten it up with a little bit of yellow.

My detergent bottle has been designed to hold a great amount of laundry detergent. I also wanted my detergent bottle to be easy to pour and fit the users hand comfortably. This design was intended to look modern and complement any laundry room.

I used many modeling techniques while designing this project. I was very surprised to see my increased problem solving ability as well as my own memory and knowledge of rhino techniques to be used in the making of this design. For starters I used the circle, center, radius tool to create the base of the design then I created my own two lines using the control point curve. I then used the loft command to create the body. Next I used the control point curve again to create what would soon be the curvy indent within my design. Once I was satisfied with the shape created through the control point curve I used the split command and deleted what remained in between these two lines. Then I used the Sweep2 command to connect these two curve in an indented and attractive manner. Next I used the control point once again to create a shape for the handle. Then I extruded the handle, added cap planer holes and then used the BooleanDifference command to create the hole for the handle. To create the cap and spout I first created a cylinder and then went to the curve menu where I selected the helix option. Next I fit the helix to the cylinder and then used the 1D scale to space out the helix. Then I used the Pipe command to create a body for the helix. Next I created a larger cylinder to fit overtop and then used the BooleanDifference command to create a compatible cap for the spout. Then I carefully attached the spout to the detergent bottle body.

I chose to use a clear plastic so the user could see how much liquid is in the bottle. This is useful so the consumer can refill accordingly. I made used a clear plastic on the cap so Professor Scott could see that I properly created the indents in the cap so it is compatible to the spout. I used a rubber material for the grip of the bottle so the user can easily grip the bottle.

Christian Edwards Week 4: Detergent Bottle

My detergent bottle was inspired by a tear drop or a rain drop.  I wanted this product to be a fun/slick design that gave the consumer a more natural feel to the act of washing clothes.  This design can also hold more liquid than the average bottle due to its fatness in size.

The tools I used to make this bottle in Rhino were pipe, curve, extrude, sweep2, trim, boolean difference, and helix, etc.  This project had many different commands to make it possible.

The materials I used were hard plastic.  I used a baby blue to represent a teardrop or raindrop, and orange to to accent the piece as a whole.  The colors play together well.

Laundry was the inspiration for my detergent bottle. I wanted to keep my design simple.

I started by creating a network surface for my curves. Then I created a planar surface to seal off the top and bottom of the bottle. I projected a curve partially onto each side of the bottle, then i piped the curve and Boolean Differenced it from the detergent bottle. The screw cap was made using a series of cylinders and the helix tool, and I added a chamfered edge to the inner cylinder of it.  The handle and neck of the bottle are slightly piped and blended.

The material choice for the bottle was hard, yellow plastic. The neck and cap are made from a hard, shiny and translucent pink plastic. I chose these colors because the pink color is easy to spot when you're in a hurry, and the color yellow is proven to make you want to get the job done without any delays.

     My detergent bottle was purposed to be held by the entire hand reaching through the bottle instead of clumsily holding it by the side. I wanted to create a bottle that could hold as much detergent, of not more, than any other detergent bottle but would allow for maximum stability as well. I created offset surfaces in both the bottom and the side where there would be a logo. I actually used offset surface to make the bottle have thickness instead of just being a surface. It is thin but can easily hold liquid. I also wanted to make the cap as ergonomic as I could so I made the curves of the bottle cap blend with those of the bottle itself. 

     To make my detergent bottle, I used many different techniques and actions. To create the original form of the bottle, I used curve and sweep2. To create the details I used the split, trim, blend, sweep2 and filletEdge. As for the offset surfaces, I used split, offsetsrf, and blendsrf. I also employed the join edges command quite a bit. To create my bottle cap and thread, I used cylindar, helix, orient perpendicular to curve, sweep1, scale1D and 2D, fillet edge, and trim.

     I used all plastics for my detergent bottle. For the main body, I used a bright red plastic that would act as the eye catching aspect of the design. For the hand sleeve, the label area (offset surface), and the cap, I used a clear, shiny, dark gray plastic. Finally, I used a light gray for the curved edges and the threaded top.

Blake Stephenson: Week 4 Detergent Bottle

     For this weeks assignment I created a large detergent bottle.  I wanted to create a larger bottle because of the convenience of not having to purchase detergent as often.  This will also enable households that do a lot of laundry to more from the same purchase rather than buying lots of smaller boxes or bottles of detergent.
     To create this bottle I used many different commands.  To create the basic form I used Curve, PolyLine, and Sweep2.  Then, to add the details, I used commands like Offset, Scale1D, BlendSRF, FilletEdge, Pipe, Cylinder, Orient Perpendicular to Surface, BooleanUnion and BooleanDifference just to name a few.
     In KeyShot I used a teal hard rough plastic for the majority of the bottle.  However, I used a blue clear smooth plastic for the offset surface so that you can see into the bottle, and there will also be a label present on the transparent surface.

     For this week's assignment I made a detergent bottle. My design concept was mainly based off of the template. I detailed the cap a bit to make the bottle more interesting to look at as well as offset a surface to create a unique shape in the bottle design.

     I started out by using the template to create my main surface. I created a curve for the handle which I then extruded, booleandifferenced into the surface, and filleted the edges. To create the large curve across the surface, I offset an inner curve off of the template, extruded both curves, split the surface with the extrusions, and blended all naked edges. For the cap I created corkscrews by using the video tutorial and added ridges on the outer wall to add more detail to the overall design. To do this I made a very skinny and long cylinder which I arraypolared around the cap to make about 25 cylinders. Then I booleandifferenced all of them into the cap creating ridges along the edge. Each ridge is filleted as well as the top of the cap and the bottom of the bottle.

     The materials I applied are a simple hard shiny plastic. I chose the colors torquoise and gray because they were not as alarming of a color as most detergent bottles are.

Peyman Pirzadeh - Week 4 - Detergent Bottle

       So for the assignment we had to model a detergent bottle. I decided to design a bottle for Tide company. The design might not be similar to Tide's bottles, though it's a new concept and it shouldn't. With the new design, since it's a large bottle I tried to design it the way that it's easy to hold the handle when the liquid is being poured, so that little space at the end of the handle helps you to hold the handle easily when pouring the liquid. Also to avoid enduring too much weight when pouring the liquid inside I positioned the neck and collar angular from the top surface.   

            The techniques that I used are pretty much all the same as previous projects. I used one curve on the bottom and one on the top with a cross section and used Sweep2 to make the overall shape of the bottle. Then used Project to apply my curves on to the bottle. Split to split the surface and trim them. Also used Offsetsrf to make a copy of the front shape in a smaller size. And finally Blendsrf to connect offseted parts smoothly. Extendcrv and Oriend  for the cap also. 

For the materials I pretty much used hard shiny plastic for the all parts. Just a different color. Since it's a design for Tide company I should keep the colors as they are appear in all the products. So I chose orange for the body, blue for top, handle surfaces and the cap, and yellow for the front offseted part.

I got my inspiration from the cheep bottles at Kroger with simple shapes and logos. The bottle have plenty of room for detergent and is designed to be held with one hand. 

I used curves and loft to get the main shape I the bottle and extruded a curve where I wanted the handle to be and then used the extrusion to spit the bottle so that I could create the smooth handle through loft and filletEdge. I created the cap and screwthred by creating a cylinder and marching a helix to it and sweeping a curve to create the third. I used filletEdge on the thred and used Boolean on my cap to match them together. 

I wanted to create a very simple bottle with very generic colors and I felt that using matt blue and red plastic was a perfect fit. I then created a logo for the bottle and I thought that naked edges is something that we want to get rid of from our models so I based the logo on that idea. 

Savannah Sears: Week 3 Mouse

For my mouse design I decided to do something ergonomic. The curves of the tutorial mouse reminded me of a mouse I had and really liked so I kept with those similar curves. I also did not want to overload the design with too many details to take away from the sleek shape.

While designing my mouse I used commands like cut plane and create solid to create the general shape. I decided to fillet the edges of the body instead of sweep2-ing the major ones to keep the design sharper than the example. I also used the pipe commands for all the details; in one detail I boolean differenced it and in the other I left it as a solid pipe. I used the array polar and boolean difference commands to create the scroller, as well as fillet edges.

For materials I chose plastics and rubber. I chose a modeled leather plastic for the body of the mouse because the mouse I had similar to this had a smooth but slightly textured plastic material for it's body and I really liked that. I chose a hard shiny plastic in a light grey-blue color for the scoller to contrast the body of the mouse both visually and texturally. Finally, I chose rubber in a blue-grey color for the pipe detail to act as a grip as well as compliment the color of the scroller.

      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.
