====== Fernando's Water Containers ======
The project started with the shape of a hard-shelled fruit called "Tecomate" that is used in rural Guatemala to carry water from the river.  Then I started seeing how this natural shape could morph into a much more westernized design such as the Coke glass bottle, the Pepsi glass bottle, and the even more modern plastic bottles.

==== Description of design drivers / goals ====
  * **Goal 1** - Start the project with the shape of a water container found in nature.

  * **Goal 2** - Take that shape and morph it into a westernized design such as the Coke or Pepsi glass bottles.

  * **Goal 3** - Take that shape and morph it into the shape of the current popular plastic bottles.
  
  * **Goal 4** - Have enough freedom with my design to make small changes to the model and end up with nice bottle designs.

==== CAD models ====
{{:fcastillo_a2:fc_parametric_model.catpart|CONSTRAINED PARAMETRIC MODEL}} - This is my parametric design with the x and y coordinate constraints.  In this model it is very hard to make changes to the model and obtained the desired design.

{{:fcastillo_a2:fc_rural_guatemala_tecomates.catpart|TECOMATES}} - This is my design without the x and y coordinate constraints.  In this model it is really easy to modify it by grabbing the points in the top and bottom of each arc and just moving them around.  This model starts with the shape of the Tecomate (rural Guatemala.)

{{:fcastillo_a2:fc_coke_bottle.catpart|COKE BOTTLE}} - This is the same model as the previous file, but it starts with the Coke glass bottle shape.

{{:fcastillo_a2:fc_plastic_pepsi_bottle.catpart|PEPSI PLASTIC BOTTLE}} - This is the same model as the previous file, but it starts with the shape of a Pepsi plastic bottle.


==== Parametric variations: Images ====
Here are some examples of what happens when I vary the parameters....
