Blake Stephenson Week 3: Mouse

 

     My design inspirations for this mouse were convenience of a small USB wireless mouse and a trackball mouse.  I wanted to create something that had both of those elements because they both offer different advantages depending on what program you may be using and the amount of free space you have in your workspace.

     The commands I used were Loft, Sweep, CreateSolid, Boolean2Objects, BooleanDifference, Patch, ExtrudeCRV, FilletEdge, Move, Create Polyline, Create Sphere and BlendSRF.

     When I put my mouse into KeyShot I wanted to use materials that would be simple but stand out on a shelf at a store.  I used a hard black plastic for the majority of the house, but the spheres on both sides are little lights that emit a blue color.  The track ball and scroll wheel are red plastic to differentiate from the mouse as well.
