Unconventional Eyewear

In class discussions we talked a lot about my spiral glasses idea. I was told it looked a lot like old cartoons and I decided to role with it.
I had this idea to make glasses that could fit LED lights in it. I was thinking I could animate some eyes with the LED's.

My first attempt looked absolutely terrifying XD It reminds me of frog eyes. So I changed the idea a bit more.

So I went back to the spiral idea, it looked a ton better, but I still wasn't happy with the idea. I went back to the drawing board.

I came up with this idea of incorporating traditional animation and glasses. I'm calling them Flip Note Glasses. The idea is that I'll add in small binder clips, paper, and have some animated eyes people can flip through!

I ended up only modelling the glasses themselves, I wasn't sure if I should put in the paper or the binder clips, but I just ended up modelling the part that would be 3d Printed.

Final Reverse Engineered Project

I really enjoy how the final project turned out! I think it looks pretty much identical to the object that I had chosen! Looking back, I do wish that I had chosen a harder object to model, but it all worked out because I ended up doing the bulk of this project while I was sick with the stomach flu ^-^

For this bit, the rendering was the toughest. I had a hard time remembering where exactly I could find the rendering settings, but with some help from YouTube, I was able to figure everything out ^^

Now my little box of candies are immortalised! Which is good, because I ate all of the little candies..... Next time I shall pick one that is not edible!

Update

The hardest part was trying to figure out why the colours were all flippy floppy. Turns out they were just on the same plane, so I had to extend some of the colours just a tiny bit outwards!!
