Blake Stephenson: Week 5 Sunglasses

     I wanted to create a pair of sunglasses that were big and would cover the majority of the consumers face.  While I myself do not wear big sunglasses in today's world larger sunglasses are very popular.  I also wanted the arm to at least partially cover the side of the eye so the glare doesn't creep in behind the lens as it would on a similar frame such as the Ray Ban Wayfarer.
     When I began modeling these glasses I began by using a Crv2View to achieve the curvature of the front of glasses that I desired.  Once I got the curve I wanted I extruded that curve into a solid to create the front of the frame.  Then, I drew the curve I wanted to one of the arms and mirrored it to have an identical arm on the other side.  Finally, to create the lens draw a plane and trimmed it using the opening in the frame and extruded that surface.
     For materials in KeyShot, I decided to keep it relatively simple.  For the front of the glasses I used a smooth black plastic, and for the hinges I used polished aluminum.  For the arms I wanted to use bamboo, and much to my dismay there was no bamboo in KeyShot.  I used Oak, which was the closest looking material offered, and it doesn't look to bad.
