My initial inspiration for this ring was my love for Colorado and my home. I wanted to create something whimsical, yet simple, that captures the idea of, "Home is where the heart is." I looked at various other "house rings" including rings with castles and other interesting buildings. This greatly inspired me to make a little world of my own, and to hopefully capture a little bit of why I love my home state. I heavily utilized my projectcrv command in order to create the tapering band. I also used my basic boolean commands to create the simple little houses. I filleted every single edge to achieve a soft "toy house" sort of feel. When choosing materials, I knew I wanted something warm, rough, and metal. So I chose a brushed brass and amped up the warmth a bit. Overall I am very pleased with the finished product and feel that it achieved the warm homey feeling I was after.

Gabi Burton-Rodriguez: Week4 DetergentBottle

Rhino Mapped For Keyshot

 Keyshot Render Full Body (Liquid Inside & Threads)



The intent behind this bottle was to create something simple, slim, and easy to spot. The entire interior volume of the bottle is used, including the volume of the handle so as to maximize the fl. oz. I used smooth edges so as to make it easier for the detergent to roll of the sides of the bottle so that none is left behind. I used minimum threads on the cap in order to help control the mess created by using the cap as a measuring device.

In order to create the surface of the bottle I used a network surface as opposed to a loft in order to allow for more subtle manipulation of the exterior form. I used a combination of filleting, blending, and two rail sweeps in order to smooth out the corners as a fore mentioned. To create the interior wall and the liquid inside I offset surfaces. As for materials, I chose a clear blue plastic. I makes little to no sense why a detergent bottle wouldn't be entirely clear. I want the design to be simple and concise, and in order to achieve I determined that the user should be able to one, recognize the cap, and two know how much detergent is left in the bottle. Hence the use of a clear plastic for the bottle. For the cap I chose an opaque red plastic and increased the roughness to further distinguish it from the rest of the bottle.

Overall, my design is simple, and immediately understood by it's user without any bells and whistles.
