For my camera design, I was inspired to create a camera for the casual photographer based on the designs of the Fujifilm XP10 and the Fujifilm Instax Mini. I incorporated the design features from the XP10 such as the large screen that also acts as a viewfinder and the longer body while creating a smoother design based off of the Instax mini. The Pocket Pal was also created to be a smaller size, easily fitting in one's pocket and traveling on the go. The camera features flash, a self timer light, a loop hole for a strap, and a charging plug-in.
In Rhino, I modeled most of my camera using the blend surface and trim commands while also using the fillet edge and boolean difference commands. I used the blend and trim technique for the large shape of the body, as well as for fitting in the lens. Some buttons and extrusions are also made using the blend and trim commands. The majority of buttons are filleted and boolean differenced into the camera body.
For my Keyshot material choices, I modeled the camera in soft, rough plastic with aluminum buttons and a glass lens. The self timer light to the left of the flash is also made of glass along with the flash panel itself. While not made to be incredibly durable, the Pocket Pal is meant to withstand the dings and dents of everyday use being made of thick, rough plastic. I also chose to create the Pocket Pal in multiple colors and styles to appeal to a wide range of people in the market. Both the Fujifilm XP and Instax Mini also have many different colors and styles for their products, which inspired me to do the same.
