The main inspiration for this project was an Oakley Garage Rock sunglasses. As a result, the shape and the dimensions are pretty similar to the original model. Moreover, I tried to create something that I would use and that mix vintage and sportive characteristics.

To model it on Rhino, I started drawing curves over the images that I inserted there. After drawing those curves, I create planar surfaces and then I extrude it to create a solid. Also, I used a lot of Crv2View, FilletEdge, Project, MoveFace, Pipe and Split.

For the materials, I chose a hard black plastic for the body to make it look cool and light, and a clean and shiny blue plastic for the lens to contrast with the black body.

Week 5 - Project 5 - Sun Glasses - Peyman Pirzadeh

For the fifth project we had to design a sun glasses.In this project since I'm designing a product that is in relationship with eyes I was thinking about something in a same family. So I inspired by fly's eyes.

The process part was kind of easier that I thought.  I started with putting my sketches in background by using PictureFrame and then  making curves lined up with lines I had from my sketches. Then to curve my lines I used Crv2views and shaped my straight lines like curves. Then extruded them using ExtrudeSrf and ExtrudeCrv. At the end also used Mirror command to symmetrically build the other side. 

For the material, modeled leather is used for the temples, red rough plastic for the temple tips, glass for the glasses and plastic for its actual body.

Meghan Preiss : Sunglasses : Week 5

 For my sunglasses I wanted to create something really geometric. I wanted to keep everything square and sharp. I created holes in the sides of the glasses and two inlets on each side of the front lens to further the idea of geometric glasses. I also kept the glasses squared to the front because I figured if they were rounded they would take away from my overall theme. I was debating on making the nose bridge straight but I figured that would not be comfortable.

To create my sunglasses I created solids for the front and then boolean differenced then went back and added another solid to create the actual lens. For the handles of the glasses I created two curves and then sweep2. I boolean differenced the holes on the side and the front. I created the nose bridge by also creating two curves and sweep2. I filleted all the edges with small fillets to keep the square shape.

For my material I chose wood and hard rough plastics. I chose the wood planks and expanded the size because I really enjoyed the textured look of it. I chose a hard rough beige plastic to contrast the dark wood. For the other sunglasses I chose oak and again expanded the size to create a more textured look. For this pair I chose a hard rough black plastic. The inlets I chose a hard rough electric blue to add a pop of color in each. I angled each wood material because the straight up and down paneling was boring.

My inspiration for these sunglasses came from the organic form of Manta Ray. I wanted to use a natural, organic form that represented elegance and grace and thought that this animal would be a perfect model for making the frame of high end sunglasses. The sweeping flow of the front frame gives a stern but class-full feel and even looking straight into the frames from the outside you can clearly see the silhouette of a Manta Ray.

For this model I began with setting up my ortho sketches and put up basic lines to shape the form. Using curve to view and lofting for the beginning I then went into using offset surfaces, balancing the shape constantly to keep the reminiscence of the graceful sea creature. Making sure the form flowed with out any kinks yet following the complex curves I had laid out in my sketches was BY FAR the hardest and most tedious part. However I believe it was all worth it because I am more than pleased with how the final form came out.

My material choice was high end using mostly black chrome for the arms and majority of the frames. I used a tan-ish lens for the glasses because that's the shade of sunglasses I like to wear. I used rubber for the ear holder and silver for the bottom rim of the frame. Finally topping it off with brass running along the top to give the feel that the top of the manta ray's back is shimmering in the sun.

For my design of the Sunglasses, I try to keep it simple and give it the modern look. To achieve that the sunglasses only has 3 parts. the ear rest, the lens and the nose rest. so there is no frame. the ear rest is attach to the lens.
To build this, i used picture frame commend to import the pictures that i scaled in photoshop. then I used lines to make the one side of frame then crv2view then extrude it; so i got one side of the sunglasses then i revolve it. after that it was some filletedge to rounded the edges and so on.
For the material wise, because i wanted to look simple. so i only used glasses. i used clear glass for the lens and frosted glass for the ear rest.

Melissa Shuford: Week 4 Detergent Bottle

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 design I was influenced by the free bees that you often get at parties or that companies give to you to promote their company. for the colors and materials I used; I was influenced for the colors by scad and for the materials I just us plastics.

for the construction of this design, after i put my designs into rhino, I made a wire frame, that I was able to extrude, and then i created patch that i projected to create the curves of my glasses, after that i split the extrusion and that show the main frame, I did the same thing to create the lenses and the arms. but I filleted the edges of the branches, but I blended the outside of the main frame.

Black Cult T-9 Parker Williams

The Black Cult T-9 by Extreme Optics was designed from inspiration from Google's new high tech glasses that you are able to speak for commands such as text, video, and phone calls. I loved the idea and decided to take it and switch it up a bit to throw into my concept. My product gears towards extreme sports athletes in this modern day world who want to push their sports bigger and better every time. With the Black Cult T-9, you are capable to change settings based upon what activity you are doing such as base jumping, motocross, kite boarding, hiking, wing suite, ect. It is capable of telling you anything from speed (mph/kph), alltitude, air pressure, ect. It is the perfect concept for people who want to take their sport to the max.

For the Black Cult T-9 I used a curve for both the sides and front and created my curve of the shape to project onto, which took me forever. For this I used the Crv2view command. I then extruded my lenses and main frame at different depths to give it separation and gave it glass renderings to show the glass portion. On the side are the wiring and power supply which was made with extruded cylinders and boxes which were placed beyond the point and trimmed to curve it perfectly to the sides. The Material is mainly matte black plastic with tinted glass and red glass for the view screens.

I had a lot of fun with this project even though it was very frusterating getting the Crv2View to work for me. After that, I went firing and designed it perfectly the way I wanted it with no naked edges and all of the mechanic I wanted inside of it. I hope to actually look into seeing if this is possible to make and pitching it to a glasses company in the near future.
