Starting Assignment 3

I began this project by quickly sketching some ideas. Everything I was drawing began with a faceted base transitioning to organic curves in the upper parts.

Side views of a possible form

Side view - Starting to develop the button part with faceted curved surfaces

Top view same as above

I started modelling in plasticine without much success. The symmetrical and faceted nature of the object make the form more suited to a material like polystyrene foam or a stiffer clay, but I decided to work with what I had readily available.

Side view showing intent for symmetrical bottom parts and a more organic top


At this point I decided to move into SolidWorks to start playing with surface functions and seeing what I could make.
