     For my glasses, I chose to create a set of safety glasses. I have always found most modern-day safety glasses to be uncomfortable and bulky, so for my aptly named "Peeper Keepers" I decided to model them after the classic welding/safety glasses of years past, such as these: example 1, example 2
    When constructing my glasses in rhino, I primarily used extrusions for the lenses and frame body, I than filleted the edges and used the lenses cylinder to boolean out a space for the lens to fit. For the nose piece, I used the arc tool for the lower arc and then I traced the line of the decorative piece over the pictureframe, offset it, than extruded the curve after connecting the ends. The ear pieces are a piped line with filleted edges, I than cut the pipe in half, that offset it to create the cushioned back piece to the ear hooks.
   I Keyshot I primarily assigned metal materials for the glasses, being safety glasses I felt that a durable material made the most sense, so I used aluminum for the frames, and steel for the ear, nose, and hinge pieces. The back of the earpiece is a molded plastic and the lenses are colored and clear glass.
