Reverse Engineered Object: Progress 1

New Object: Bento Box

At first, I had three choices for this reverse engineering project. One was a remote control, second being a membrane keyboard and last being an IKEA clock. As much as I want to pursue those objects for this project, I feel that they are extremely time consuming which isn't ideal considering we only have a week left for this project. I believe that those objects would take too long to measure, and due to my nature of second guessing myself, I know that I would spend most of my time revising the measurements rather than revising the actual 3D project. So, wandering my house lost and frustrated, I rummaged through our food containers and found my old bento box! I was elated, as the structure of this box seemed simple enough to quickly measure, yet it was also complicated enough for the standards of this project (or that's what I think at least haha).

Anyways, for our progress 1 check I decided to draw out the simple shapes, and see how everything fits together. I am currently in the middle of double checking my measurements and pondering about how create some shapes. The solutions that I am coming up with are:

• For the large rectangular body, I will be experimenting with the "round" sub-function as it gives the most accurate and ideal shape when drawn.
• For the flaps of the bento's cover, I will using both a regular rectangle and an arc (I will be using the start point arc sub-function).
• Overall, I will be focusing on the drawings halfway this week and the other half will be spent rendering the shapes and making sure that everything fits together.

Some of the features of this bento box will have to be added once everything is extruded, such as the little edges and the gaps within the edges. I will keep on experimenting with those shapes though, to see what the best course of action is.
