Ka Wing Leung_week3_mouse

I studied some hand gesture of people holding mouse. We used the index finger mostly and there is a gap between the index finger and the thumb. I found it looks like a crab claw so my mouse design was inspired by the blue crab.  I made three layers for the mouse body to represent the body layers of a blue crab.

I started my design from curves. I used a lot of loft, sweep2 and Blend to connect my curves. In order to make a smooth edges, I used fillet edge and fillet surface (the body of mouse). I found Boolean split very useful this time, I could create a closed form very easily.

For materials, I picked Aluminum polished for the left and right button as well as the back of my mouse. I used Amazon Moss_743282, Aluminum polished #1 and Glass basic blue #1 for my mouse body. I used Paint - metallic deep crimson pipe for the detail and Shiny cloudy plastic – blue for the roller ball because it represents the eyes of blue crab.
