Christian Edwards: Week 2 Flashlight

My flashlight was inspired by the idea that through out mans history, fire on a stick (torch)  has led the way through the dark. and how can I make a flashlight that brings back that sense of permittivity without compromising the usefulness of a modern day flashlight.  All of our gadgets now a days are shiny and artificial.  This flashlight will humble who ever holds it. 

To achieve this design in Rhino, I used a few different commands.  Once I had traced the line of what shape I wanted, I used the "revolve" command to bring the line to life in 3d form.  For the LED lights inside, I used arrayPolar to bring a 360 degree of lights.  

The material I ended up using was a wood (Black Walnut).  This will feel so natural to anybody who holds it. It also has a beautiful shine.
