Second Progress Post






Throughout the progress of the shampoo bottle that I was doing I had a bit of trouble with the top cap and the main head of the bottle. Configuring how to create the top cap separate from the main head piece was one of the problems I had. Finally after a bit of research and a bit of help I created a new plane, used the convert entities tool and created the part above the main head piece. From there I used the split tool and split and saved each piece separately.





Finally managing to complete each of the three pieces of the shampoo bottle successfully; the body, head and top cap, I have now completed the assembly of the three parts and have completed the first stage of the shampoo bottle as you can see from the picture above. With the problems and challenges that I came across in this task of the assessment I have learnt quite a lot in terms of over coming problems myself and finding different ways around things.


When it came to designing the customized piece of the bottle I simply used the same head and top cap but then created a complete new body. I took into considering how slim the actual shampoo bottle looked and decided to customize my own to look a lot more thick and solid, as you can see above. The process of constructing this body of the bottle was a lot easier due to firstly creating the main shampoo bottle. Using the same techniques and tools everything was a lot more straight forward.
