Meghan Preiss : Week 4 : Detergent Bottle

My detergent bottle was inspired by the Jetsons television show that aired in the 1960's to the late 1980's. I wanted it to be futuristic yet have a fun appeal. I wanted it to have a deep offset surface because I believe this adds to the futuristic feel. I also created a two step top to the bottle to create a different curve to the bottle.

To create my bottle I started with simple curves and then used a sweep2 to create the shape. I created a curve and extruded it then boolean differenced for the handle. I also created two curves and trimed the inside and then sweep2 to create the offset surface. I filleted every edge. To create the cap I used helix and boolean difference.

My materials were all hard plastics. I chose to use a rough gray for the main part of the bottle.I chose to use two different colors for the main pops of color to show that this brand comes in different scents/kinds of detergent. I used hard rough red and hard rough lime green to create a fun pop of color. In addition, to extend the pop of color I used a hard shiny tangerine and a hard shiny deep cer. I am really pleased with my color choices and how my bottles turned out.

Reed Herne: Week 4 Detergent Bottle

In designing this project my goal was to create a slightly refined design that did not stray far from the typical consumer detergent bottle that might be found on the shelf at a store. I extended the bottle with an extra chamber extruding from the top and an elongated tip for facilitate pouring. The cap has ridged along the sides allowing grip so that the cap can be easily twisted off if too tight. 

For the basic shape of the bottle I used a sweep 2 command and planar curves for the ends. To create the depression on the bottom surface of the bottle I used the split, scale and loft tools. For the handle I used primarily the extrude curve and fillet tools. Along with the fillet tool I also used the create pipe command to create smooth transitions between surfaces. As for the cap and tip I used the helix, sweep 1 and boolean union commands. To give my bottle structure I used the offset surface command; creating the walls of the form. I found that the DIR (direction) command was practical when troubleshooting boolean operations. 

My material choices were typical much like the shape of my bottle. I chose plastics for cost efficiency since detergent bottles are mass produced, and the colors of the Tide brand bottle because it is easier for the consumer to identify a product they are already familiar with. The transparent cap allows for easier analysis when grading.

(Scott- I emailed you regarding the renderings, I did not have a full version of Keyshot to use while back in DC so I used the demo, hence the watermarks and size)

Sarah Zambrana Week 4: Detergent Bottle

For this design, I wanted to stick to the typical shape of a detergent bottle but (with the help from the tutorial) I also brought some interest to it with the different shapes connecting the different materials. The tools I used most to create to forms were blend, offset, fillet, and also the boolean difference command. I actually really enjoyed making this bottle. The form and blends turned out really nice.

Sarah Zambrana: Week 4 USB

     For this project, I used the USB  rhino tutorial that was provided. I really enjoyed how simplified the steps were. If I would've had to make this on my own, I definitely would've made things a lot more complicated than were. The tools I used were offset, blend surfaces, mirror, extrude curves and fillet edge. Out of all the tools that learn to use here, I think that my favorite one was the offset command. It can be very useful, especially for hollow objects. I chose some painted plastic for the exterior and titanium for the connector. The colors are supposed to reflect natural colors that resemble red rock. I like the mix of modern technology with organic and natural ideas.

Nick Tourville- Week 4 Detergent Bottle

   My detergent bottle is straight-forward, efficient form based on the video tutorial. The handle, however, has been given finger grooves and has been reduced in thickness to allow for easier gripping. Offsets have been added to the side and bottom, and a logo was added to each side. In this design, I focused on using sweeps, splits, and offsets.

Nick Tourville- Week 4 USB

    My USB design mostly followed the tutorial. However, I gave the design a small twist. I have recently had the problem of forgetting my flashdrive in the computer lab. So, I added a car or house key the to end to add a greater personal value to the drive. My combining to necessary objects, the design has an object the user cannot afford to let slip their mind. There is also a small speaker that makes a sound when the user logs off a computer, and a light that turns on when the USB is plugged in and active. The offset tool was especially helpful in this design.

For my detergent bottle, I created a bottle for Oxi Clean. My design features an easy to hold handle and a spout to reduce dripping. The bottle is made of plastic painted different colors. To create this design, I started with 2-dimensional orthographic drawings which I used to create the surface. I used the  offset command to create the indented surfaces. To create the threads on the cap I used the helix command.  

Max acevedo week 4 : detergent bottle

For my detergent bottle project I wanted to do an organic form . I did the tutorial and then I changed the whole shape of my bottle. The handle in my bottle is created by the concavity in the back of the bottle. It is very ergonomic handle and for the view it is a clean design.  The use of sweep2 and offset was amazing, creating meshes with curves it is a great tool that I know will be used in next porjects.

Javier Prado: Week 4 USB

For this project I went with a glass cover and a wood inside for the usb device.
