Concept: My USB was designed to be
simple, useful, but cute. I thought it would be fun to give it a sort of
personality, since USBs do so much to be useful to us. The design became
anthropomorphized into the U.S.BRO. He’s got your back.
Modeling: Techniques used in Rhino
for building the U.S.BRO started with using a bitmap background for referencing
size, shape, and positioning to create my initial forms and curves. I also used arcs, curve extrusion, trim, offset,
filletEdge, curve projection, sweep, loft, blendEdge, cap, boundingBox, etc.
For combining particular parts into their respective sections for materials, I
used split, explode, BooleanUnion (difference, 2Objects, etc.).
Materials: For the body of the USB
and the logo details, I used hard rough plastic, since this is often what USB
shells are made of for durability. For the inside metal details, I used zinc in
two different shades to distinguish the strips from the rectangular shape. For the metal insert, I used knurled
titanium.
