Non-cylindrical Bottle (body)

I was able to create the main loft of the bottle body in-class, but created the lip details and lid at home.

I used the spline tool together with a combination of imported photos and a vernier caliper to produce profiles for front, side, top and bottom views.

At first I tried using the splines defining the sides of the bottle as 'profiles' with the top and bottom as 'guide curves' but this caused an error. I tried swapping them and was able to successfully create the loft.

Thursday of week 2 I continued work on this bottle. 

I measured the bottle top with a vernier caliper and created accurate extrusions, then hollowed the body with the shell tool.

I then measured the details around these extrusions and created them.
