The Cx12 Acid Rain Mouse is a mouse meant for anything BUT mobility. This mouse was founded off of the look of gaming mice, but not for the purpose of gaming. Made out of almost all glass, this mouse is meant to be found on the desk of high-end CEOs of major corporations or serious designers that are on their computer 24/7. I used multiple new commands for this project such as sweep 2, pipe,flowoncrv, fillet, loft, array pollar, explode, split, and bollean2objects. This mouse has a rotating tracker ball, with buttons on the sides used by your thumb and ring finger, while your pointer finger moves the tracking ball. The glass tubes allow you to see inside of the mouse showing the wires and electronics.

The curve on top is meant to fit your hand as the bottom is just for show. The pipes were extruded from front to back and runs through the rectangles which can be seen because the rectangles are glass. The rectangle on the inside is meant to be lit up and is just for show. I used pipe to make 4 symmetrical  running edges going over the top of the whole mouse.

I had a hard time with an intire concept at first so I actuall started just playing with shape. I liked the color and complexity of the alienware products, even though I am a mac guy. The light that will shine out of it will be very dark and omnyous to go along with the dark reds and greys that the mouse is made out of. Fun project overall and learned a lot of Filleted Edges.
