Today I wanted to make a Steemit perfume bottle. How did I come with this design? Well, it just came after trying many times. I had different designs and changed many times. Suddenly I had a sort of pumpkin shape and decided to stick with this weird shape. The details came afterwards. I just kept adding and adding little details, changed the colours couple of times. There are also little details at the bottom of the perfume bottle to make it more exclusive. I am also happy I was able to make this animation of the perfume bottle that I designed today. It just makes the perfume bottle more attractive.
The bottle has a dark brown, coffee colour. I gave it a "glass" look. The cap is made of black leather and the hexagon coin with the Steemit logo is made of polished platinum. I really like the combination of the dark colour glass with leather and polished platinum.
At the bottom of the bottle I gave some small details that give the bottle that extra exclusiveness. It has a leather hexagon coin with a platinum frame and steemit logo text in the middle.
Tutorial
First I offset the planes, creating the shape of the bottle. (Construct > Offset Plane)
Then I sketched 4 hexagons on the 4 planes, two of each are the same. Then I offset the hexagons. This is for the inner of the bottle, because the bottle is hollow.
I lofted the 4 outer hexagons, leaving the offset hexagon like it is (Create > Loft) It looks now like a pumpkin.
I didn't like the shape so I chamfer the edges. I also lofted the offset inner hexagon.(Modify > Chamfer)
For the cap, I extruded the top of the hexagon and applied bevels on the edges of the cap using Chamfer function.
To create a realistic look of the bottle, I included this design with a bottle sprayer( if you call it like that). I sketched two different sizes of circles and extruded them. I sketched a very small circle at the front and extruded it for the sprayer.
I inserted a Steemit SVG file as the logo and extruded it. Then I moved it a bit inside the cap.
I wasn't happy yet and felt the bottle missed something. So I extruded the bottom of the bottle with 2 mm and gave it a leather look in black. Then I sketched the Steemit text, extruded it and moved it a bit inside the leather.
I continued and gave the leather piece a platinum frame around it. Now that bottom is ready.
I decided to give the cap one more detail so I made a hexagon frame around it.
Result
I am VERY happy with the result!
The spray also works.
