Gabi Burton-Rodriguez: Week4 DetergentBottle


Rhino Ghosted Black


Rhino Mapped For Keyshot


Keyshot Render Arial


 Keyshot Render Full Body (Liquid Inside & Threads)



The intent behind this bottle was to create something simple, slim, and easy to spot. The entire interior volume of the bottle is used, including the volume of the handle so as to maximize the fl. oz. I used smooth edges so as to make it easier for the detergent to roll of the sides of the bottle so that none is left behind. I used minimum threads on the cap in order to help control the mess created by using the cap as a measuring device.

In order to create the surface of the bottle I used a network surface as opposed to a loft in order to allow for more subtle manipulation of the exterior form. I used a combination of filleting, blending, and two rail sweeps in order to smooth out the corners as a fore mentioned. To create the interior wall and the liquid inside I offset surfaces. As for materials, I chose a clear blue plastic. I makes little to no sense why a detergent bottle wouldn't be entirely clear. I want the design to be simple and concise, and in order to achieve I determined that the user should be able to one, recognize the cap, and two know how much detergent is left in the bottle. Hence the use of a clear plastic for the bottle. For the cap I chose an opaque red plastic and increased the roughness to further distinguish it from the rest of the bottle.

Overall, my design is simple, and immediately understood by it's user without any bells and whistles.
