Kathrine Clark ~ Week Two ~ Flashlight




Week 2 Project
Flashlight

The symmetrical shape of a traditional flashlight seemed a bit ridged so I recreated the form using curvilinear lines. I wanted to design a flashlight that would be interesting and look great sitting perpendicular on any surface.

Extruding the cylinders, as we did in class, seemed to take a lot of time. I sketched out my design, did the math and plotted polylines and curved lines that I joined and revolved. Then I added the bands by revolving. The spheres were added afterward and I used the array polar command to populate them evenly around the band.

I tried a number of different materials. Although I liked some of the metals they made this look like a chalice. So I went back to paint and added some bright highlights.
